HC Deb 17 November 1971 vol 826 cc129-30W
Mr. Tilney

asked the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications whether he will introduce legislation to provide that, where the Post Office provides only one delivery a day, businesses can group together to provide alternative services, if need be at a higher rate of postal charge, to ensure that their correspondence reaches its destination the next day.

Mr. Chataway

No. I would remind my hon. Friend that the retention of existing services at higher prices has already been put to the Post Office Users National Council as an alternative to the proposed cuts in services.
