§ 27. Mr. Tilneyasked the Postmaster-General what are his plans for the production of a cheap loudspeaker telephone.
§ Mr. BennThe Post Office already supplies loudspeaking telephones which amplify speech in both directions for as little as £2 a quarter and others which amplify incoming speech for 15s. a quarter. An improved model is being developed, but it is too early to say when it is likely to become generally available.
§ Mr. TilneyIs the right hon. Gentleman sure that that service is advertised? When I asked the telephone authorities in the Palace of Westminster about it, they said that there was no such service.
§ Mr. BennI shall look into this in connection with the advertising policy of the Post Office generally on advertising lesser known services.
