§ 10. Mr. JAMES MacANDREWasked the Postmaster-General whether he will consider extending the policy of reducing charges as a means of popularising the telephone in preference to spending money on its advertisement?
§ The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Sir Kingsley Wood)The reduction of telephone charges continues to be a main aim of Post Office policy; but I am satisfied that the present expenditure on publicity is of financial advantage to the telephone service and thus assists the policy of rate reduction.
§ Mr. MacANDREWCan my right hon. Friend state how much has been spent on advertising?
