Will this Bill require changing existing letterboxes? If so, it should
go the whole hog and mandate size, as well as height.



It's not a real Bill. It's a 10 minute rule Bill. That's a procedure
which lets MPs speak for 10 minutes on an idea they'd like to see
legislated by (usually) the government. So there's no detail behind the
substance. But on the face of it the Bill was to "amend building
regulations to require letter boxes in new buildings to be positioned
above a certain height" (NB not even new doors.) But that'd all be for
consultation/discussion/debate come a real Bill with proposals worked up
by officials.
