§ 43. Sir A. HOLBROOKasked the Postmaster-General whether he will consider a revision of the present system of rendering telephone accounts and issue them to subscribers monthly instead of quarterly; and whether he is aware that the adoption of a system of monthly accounts in Canada has led to a great increase in the number of telephone users in that Dominion?
§ Viscount WOLMERMonthly accounts mean monthly payments, which I do not think would be welcomed by the majority of telephone subscribers in this country.
§ Sir A. HOLBROOKDoes the Noble Lord think that monthly payments would afford subscribers a better chance of checking their accounts?
§ Viscount WOLMERNo, Sir; I do not think it would.
