HC Deb 27 April 1970 vol 800 c253W
Mr. Onslow

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will take steps to ensure that returning officers send postal vote papers to electors by first-class post.

Mr. Merlyn Rees:

Guidance to this effect was given in 1968. Envelopes supplied for use with postal ballot papers at parliamentary elections are Official Paid, first-class.
