Mr. CLUSEasked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware of the anxiety created among subscribers to relay exchanges as to the effect of the proposals of the Ullswater Report on that service; and whether he can give an assurance that this service will not be worsened or subscriptions increased by the Post Office taking over the relay exchanges?
§ Major TRYONThe Government are at present considering the report of the Ullswater Committee, and I am not in a position to make any statement on the subject.
§ Captain PLUGGEIn view of the fact that listeners constitute the body most interested in this matter will the Minister give an undertaking to this House that listeners and licence-payers will be consulted before he puts into effect any proposals of the Ullswater Committee?
§ Major TRYONI am anxious to hear the views of the House of Commons itself.
