HC Deb 24 January 1951 vol 483 c132
41. Mr. Peter Freeman

asked the Postmaster-General when an automatically-controlled register of charges will be available at subscribers' premises in connection with telephone calls, such as has been in operation in Switzerland for many years.

Mr. Ness Edwards

Extensive development work is necessary in this country before such registers could be operative.

Mr. Freeman

Would the Postmaster-General consider installing some of these automatic registers on an experimental basis in different parts of the country?

Mr. Ness Edwards

This equipment would have to be specially designed, and that is why I say that extensive development work would be necessary.
