HC Deb 29 July 1976 vol 916 cc386-7W
Mr. Cockcroft

asked the Secretary of State for Industry what improvements he proposes to make in his monitoring of the Post Office's performance, following the movement from substantial losses to profits by the corporation.

Mr. Les Huckfield

I welcome the great improvement in the Post Office's financial position which is recorded in the report and accounts published yesterday. Arrangements for consultations with the Post Office on its financial performance have already been examined following the comments of the Select Committee on Nationalised Industries in its Report on the Post Office's letter post services. Our conclusions will be published in the Government's reply to the Report.
