HC Deb 31 January 1983 vol 36 c12W
Mr. Pawsey

asked the Secretary of State for Industry if he will issue a general directive to the Post Office requiring it to maintain the present facilities to affix stamps to postal orders.

Mr. Butcher

This is a matter for the commercial judgment of the Post Office in which it would be inappropriate for the Government to intervene. I understand, however, that the Post Office is currently reviewing the decision it had made to withdraw this facility.
