§ 74. Colonel DAYasked the Minister of Health the number and names of municipalities owning and operating their own telephone services?
§ Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSONI have been asked to reply. Kingston-upon-Hull is the only municipality in this country which owns and operates a public telephone service; but the States of Jersey and Guernsey own and operate the telephone services in those islands. The services mentioned are operated under licence from the Post Office.
§ Colonel DAYCan the right hon. Gentleman say with what success they are operated, whether they make a substantial profit?
§ Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSONI should require notice of that question.
