Conservative Party accused of ‘scamming’ voters with unpaid mail seeming to be from NHS
Unpaid mail appearing to be official NHS letters but is actually Tory pre-election PR

THE Conservatives were accused of “scamming” voters today by sending unpaid mail that appeared to be official NHS letters but turned out to be Tory pre-election PR.

Douglas Smith from St Albans was charged £4 by the Royal Mail to collect two letters on Thursday which had been sent to him and his partner.

He claimed that the NHS logo was visible through the transparent envelope windows and Mr Smith said he thought they were notifications of hospital appointments.
