HL Deb 04 December 1969 vol 306 c278WA
VISCOUNT FURNESS

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Why the O.H.M.S. envelopes provided far the payment of surtax are prepaid at the first-class rate.

LORD BESWICK

The use of the second-class postal service for surtax remittances would involve a loss of interest to the Exchequer through delay in lodgement which would exceed the additional cost of the first-class rate.

House adjourned at ten minutes past seven o'clock.
