HC Deb 20 July 1960 vol 627 cc479-80
21. Sir A. V. Harvey

asked the Postmaster-General how many subscribers have taken up the credit card system for calls and what efforts are being made to advertise the service.

Mr. Bevins

So far 6,640 subscribers have taken up this service. About 19,000 cards have been issued for the use of these subscribers and their employees. The service has been advertised in the Press, and by leaflets, but I agree that it requires further publicity and this is under way.

Sir A. V. Harvey

Can my right hon. Friend say what arrangements have been made with other countries to make these cards valid for use abroad?

Mr. Bevins

So far as I know, no arrangements have been made so far, but I will look into the possibility.
