HC Deb 08 April 1930 vol 237 c1960
76. Captain CAZALET

asked the Postmaster-General what is the cost to the Post Office of a single one-piece telephone instrument; and whether these instruments are manufactured in England?

Mr. LEES-SMITH

I regret that I cannot disclose the contract price which must necessarily be regarded as confidential. All the instruments are manufactured in England.

Captain CAZALET

In view of the greater facilities and efficiency of these one-piece instruments, will the right hon. Gentleman encourage their use in this country by reducing the price?

Mr. LEES-SMITH

I have already explained that, after they have been used for one year, I propose to review the rental charge.
