HC Deb 29 February 1968 vol 759 c395W
Mr. Randall

asked the Postmaster-General what response and representations he has received to the new postal address coding in the Newcastle-upon-Tyne Head Postmaster's District; if he will give an approximate percentage of items coming to hand for delivery correctly coded; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Edward Short:

The reception given by the public of Newcastle-upon-Tyne to the introduction of postcoding has been very good and we have had little adverse comment.

The proportion of coded mail has risen to over 20 per cent. and we expect it will continue to rise.
