I have a brief statement to make.

The Services Committee, in its Fourth Report, stated that if those hon. Members who at present collected their Votes from the Post Office were willing to collect their Votes from the Vote Office, a saving of over £1,700 per annum could be made in postal charges. The Services Committee recommended that a change in the present system should be made as soon as possible.

I have accepted the recommendation of the Committee. As from next Monday, 16th June, hon. Members or their secretaries should, therefore, collect their Votes from the Vote Office instead of from the Post Office.
