HC Deb 25 October 1968 vol 770 c401W
Sir F. Maclean

asked the Postmaster General under what circumstances second-class mail posted in Arran and for delivery in Arran was sent at the public expense to the mainland and back in order to delay delivery; and whether he will state the total cost of this operation.

Mr. Stonehouse

No extra cost was involved in this operation, which lasted only a few days at the start of the new letter service.
