HC Deb 04 April 1921 vol 140 c7
12. Captain WEDGWOOD BENN

asked the Postmaster-General if he will state how many telephone subscribers have cancelled contracts within the last two months?

Mr. PIKE PEASE

About 7,000 agreements expired during February and March, on notice given by the subscribers. This number is above the average, but it is impossible to say how far the increase is due to the revision of rates, and how far to other causes.
