HC Deb 04 December 1928 vol 223 c1011
61. Major CARVER

asked the Postmaster-General the number of public telephone call-boxes which have been installed in rural railway stations in the East Riding of Yorkshire?

Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSON

The number is three. There are also seven stations at which the railway company rent direct exchange lines.

Mr. DAY

What is the fee payable at these boxes? Are they under the same arrangement as that referred to in my earlier question?

Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSON

They are under a special agreement.

Mr. DAY

What is the price?

Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSON

I could not say without notice.
