HC Deb 09 December 1975 vol 902 c104W
Mr. Pardoe

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many letters, sent by first-class post, his Department received within the last three months; and how many of these arrived within one day, two days and more than two days, respectively, of the date on the postmark.

Dr. Summerskill

I regret this information is not available.

Mr. Pardoe

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will conduct a survey to inform himself of the proportion of letters sent by his Department by first-class post which arrive within one day of posting.

Dr. Summerskill

No. The cost involved would be disproportionate.
