§ 42. Mr. MORGAN JONES (for Mr. McENTEE)asked the Postmaster-General whether his Department are considering any reduction in the rental of telephones?
§ Sir K. WOODIn view of the relatively small surplus on the telephone account, I regret that a, reduction in the charges for rental is at present impracticable. I may add that during the past 10 years reductions in telephone rates have been made amounting in the aggregate to over £6,000,000 a year.
