HC Deb 07 July 1975 vol 895 c54W
Mr. Richard Wainwright

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer on what grounds the Inland Revenue has ceased using reply-paid gummed labels for re-use of envelopes.

Mr. Denzil Davies

The Inland Revenue, in common with other Government Departments, is discontinuing the use of reply-paid labels, because the Post Office experiences serious difficulties in sorting reused labelled envelopes mechanically. The Department does, however, where appropriate enclose franked addressed envelopes with its communications.
