HC Deb 14 December 1987 vol 124 c335W
Mr. Gordon Brown

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster if he expects to raise any money from the sale of any part of the Post Office in any of the next three financial years.

Mr. Butcher

It is our policy to transfer activities from the public to the private sector wherever this is practicable and makes commercial sense, but we have no firm plans at present for the sale of any part of the Post Office.
