HC Deb 03 December 1980 vol 995 c125W
Mr. Ashley

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many telephones have been supplied with assistance from local authorities under the Chronically Sick and Disabled Persons Act 1970, divided if possible according to the years in which the telephones were installed, according to local authority and according to category of need.

Sir George Young

The centrally available information for England about the number of households since 1974 assisted financially with installation of telephones, or with payment of telephone rental, is contained in the feedback booklet, "Aids to Households", the latest of which relates to the year ending 31 March 1979. A copy of this series is available in the Library of the House.
