HC Deb 15 February 1971 vol 811 c302W
37. Sir J. Langford-Holt

asked the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications whether he will give a general direction to the Post Office Board that it should conduct an inquiry and publish a report on the saving in staff costs which would result from the use of roadside domestic post boxes and the extent to which an increase in postmen's wages could be granted without any increase in costs.

Mr. Chataway

No. These are Post Office management matters for which a direction would not be appropriate.
