HC Deb 13 March 1928 vol 214 c1716
52. Mr. DAY

asked the Postmaster-General the number of telephone booths in the London area that will shortly be fitted with electrical advertisement signs; and whether this contract was open to competitive offer?

Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSON

The right to exhibit advertisements of all kinds in telephone call boxes is held by the United Kingdom Advertising Company, who obtained it by competitive tender. I am unable to answer the first part of the question.
