HC Deb 06 May 1975 vol 891 cc410-1W
Mr. Adam Butler

asked the Minister for the Civil Service what is his estimate of the annual volume of OHMS and other letters with official paid postage; and what payment or compensation was made to the Post Office for carrying this mail in 1974.

Mr. Charles R. Morris

No central records are kept of the volume of official paid letters sent by Departments. The total provision made in Estimates for 1974–75 to cover the cost of repayment to the Post Office for postal services was £46 million.
