§ Q3. Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Prime Minister why he will not agree to give a breakdown analysis of the 8,085 postcards and letters which he received during the week commencing 21st February, 1971, and details as to how many of the 7,953 which related to the postal workers' strike expressed support or opinions in favour of the dispute and how many were against.
§ The Prime MinisterBecause the cost of such an analysis would greatly exceed its usefulness. As I have already told the hon. Gentleman, 7,940 of the 7,953 communications on the postal workers' strike were identical postcards delivered in bulk.
