§ Mr. Clinton DavisThe postal inquiry services formerly operated on a non-statutory basis by the Company Registration Offices in London and Edinburgh 619W had to be withdrawn because of the need to concentrate staff resources on statutory functions.
In view of the continuing need for economies in civil service manpower I regret that I see no prospect of their reintroduction.
