HC Deb 12 March 1997 vol 292 c259W
Mr. Barnes

To ask the President of the Board of Trade, pursuant to his answer of 11 February,Official Report, column 124, what action is taken when a postcode cuts across local authority boundaries; and what action has been taken in relation to the S12 and S31 post code areas. [19630]

Mr. Greg Knight

The Department does not take action when a postcode cuts across local authority boundaries, since postcodes are not used as the basis for geographically targeted policies.
