Telephone Service (Local Systems).

HC Deb 22 February 1911 vol 21 cc1897-8

Mr. FALLE

asked the Postmaster-General if he could entertain the suggestion that municipalities might be allowed to purchase the telephone systems in each of its own towns, while the trunk lines should remain in the hands of the Post Office?

The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. Herbert Samuel)

I regret that I am not at present in a position to make any statement on this point.
