§ 33. Colonel DAYasked the Postmaster-General whether he has come to any decision with reference to the introduction of legislation to meet cases which may arise in the future for the protection of tenants occupying flats of buildings where the owner makes a demand on his Department for the immediate removal by the Post Office of all telephones used by the tenants occupying such places?
§ The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Sir William Mitchell-Thomson)No, Sir. It would, in any event, be impossible to introduce legislation on this subject during the current Session.
§ Colonel DAYWill the right hon. Gentleman consider introducing it in the next Session in view of the very great unrest in the minds of people who have telephones in their flats?
§ Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSONAs the hon. Gentleman knows, the circumstances in this particular case have been satisfactorily adjusted, and I will consider the whole question.
