HC Deb 19 April 1971 vol 815 c328W
Mr. Moate

asked the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications if he will estimate the loss to the Post Office resulting from the growing practice of commercial concerns despatching circulars and other printed material from the Continent of Europe for distribution in the United Kingdom, thereby obtaining the advantage of lower postal rates.

Mr. Chataway

This is primarily a matter for the Post Office, which tells me that, while no precise estimate is available, it proposes to combat this problem by revising and strengthening the relevant postal regulations from 1st July, 1971.
