HC Deb 13 March 1969 vol 779 cc334-5W
63. Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Postmaster-General whether he has considered the report of the Consumer Association, details of which are in his possession, on the operation of the two-tier postal service; and what action he proposes to take as a result of these findings.

Mr. Stonehouse

Yes. I was pleased that the new 5d. post was found to be better than the old 4d. and that most of the second-class letters arrived within two days of posting. No immediate action is proposed, but the report will be considered as part of the full survey of the two-tier system which I have already announced.—[Vol. 772, c. 558–624.]
