HC Deb 27 July 1926 vol 198 c1900
60. Mr. SMEDLEY CROOKE

asked the Postmaster-General if he has considered the advisability of fusion of the telegraph and telephone services, and what conclusion he has reached?

Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSON

From the point of view of practical working, the services are combined as far as possible. I do not think that there would at the present time be advantage, but rather the reverse, in a fusion of the two services on the financial side.
