Postage ("Official Paid" Envelopes)

HC Deb 01 December 1976 vol 921 cc148-9W

Mr. Lawrence

asked the Minister for the Civil Service at what stage a postal charge is levied on official paid envelopes and cards.

Mr. Charles R. Morris

The arrangements for "Official Paid" mail were so devised that the users pay the Post Office at approximately the time the stationery is used. The payments are based on the rates the Post Office charges the public.
