HC Deb 14 November 1968 vol 773 cc121-2W
47. Mr. Gresham Cooke

asked the Postmaster-General whether, in view of the fact that the 10s. book of stamps is used mainly by private persons, he will reduce the proportion of 5d. to 4d. stamps from 12 to 14 to 8 to 18.

Mr. Joseph Slater

No. Our checks indicate that private correspondents use the First Class service for about 40 per cent. of their mail so that the present balance of stamps in the 10s. book is not unreasonable.
