§ Mr. WallaceTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what additional postage costs have been incurred by the Inland Revenue since 1 January, by issuing tax assessments to agents in separate envelopes rather than in bulk.
§ Mr. Norman LamontI am afraid that this information is not available.
The Department has plans to utilise automatic mail handling equipment that will bring most agents' copies together, though it is unlikely that the new arrangements will be in place before 1990.
