HC Deb 16 July 1973 vol 860 cc1-2W
Mr. Ewing

asked the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications when he expects to receive the report from Post Office Users' National Council regarding proposals for postal tariff increases; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Charles R. Morris

asked the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications what discussions he has had with the Post Office Users' Consultative Council on the proposals of the Post Office Corporation to increase postal tariffs.

Sir J. Eden

I received the report on Friday and I am most grateful to Lord Peddie and his colleagues for the speed and thoroughness with which they have discharged their task. A copy of the council's report has been sent to the Price Commission, so that it may be aware of the council's views when considering the Post Office application for price increases.
