§ Mr. Hall-Davisasked the Secretary of State for Industry whether he will issue a general direction to the Post Office to set a maximum percentage increase that can be made in one year for a private posting box collection service.
§ Mr. Gregor MackenzieNo. A general direction would not be appropriate. The recent increases in fees were the first for many years; they were accepted by the Post Office Users' National Council and approved by the Price Commission.
