Lord MANCROFT asked Her Majesty's Government:

  1. (1) How many postal sorting offices are now operating the postcode system;
  2. (2) how many such offices have yet to put the system into operation; and
  3. (3) when the postcode system is likely to be in operation throughout the whole country.

Viscount TRENCHARD

This is a matter for the Post Office under the powers of autonomy granted it by the Post Office Act 1969.
