§ Mr. Brothertonasked the Secretary of State for Industry if he will take steps to suspend the statutory letter monopoly of the Post Office for the month of December in order that voluntary organisations can run Christmas card collection and delivery services for retirement pensioners.
§ Mr. Les HuckfieldNo. We do not believe that such a suspension would be in the public interest.
§ Mr. Brothertonasked the Secretary of State for Industry what sanctions he intends to take against any society, institute or association organising local Christmas card collection and delivery services for retirement pensioners between now and 25th December.
