HC Deb 19 March 1969 vol 780 c122W
Mr. Kenneth Baker

asked the Postmaster-General what items formerly charged to the capital account in the Post Office's accounts, are in future to be charged against the revenue account.

Mr. Stonehouse

Costs of—

  1. (i) salaried staff in central and regional headquarters engaged on long term planning and general administration,
  2. (ii) Supply departments and motor transport, and
  3. (iii) Storm and damage,

hitherto partly capitalised, are now to be charged wholly to revenue account. As a partial offset to these, certain costs associated with the rearrangement of plant will be transferred from revenue to capital account.
