HC Deb 10 July 1928 vol 219 cc2045-6
49. Mr. KELLY

asked the Postmaster-General the amounts paid by Trinity House for work done by the Post Office staff in 1925, 1926, and 1927?

Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSON

I assume that what the hon. Member alludes to is payment made by Trinity House for special work done by the Post Office in connection with the maintenance of telephone communications with outlying lighthouses and light vessels. The charge for these services for the three years was:

1925 £2,165
1926 £554
1927 (estimated) £37
These sums do not include any charges covered by the ordinary telephone rentals or call fees, or telegraph, postal charges and the like, particulars of which are not available.
