HC Deb 10 May 1972 vol 836 c1303
21. Mr. Wyn Roberts

asked the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications if he will refer to the Post Office Users' National Council the computerised system of recording and charging for telephone calls in view of the fact that certain subscribers have been charged for calls they have not made.

Sir J. Eden

The Post Office itself recently asked the Post Office Users' National Council to look into its arrangements for metering telephone calls.

Mr. Roberts

Does my hon. Friend agree that it is esssential in these matters to have not only a high degree of accuracy but absolute accuracy in charging for telephone calls?

Sir J. Eden

Yes, I absolutely agree with my hon. Friend. It is because there have been doubts about this that the Post Office has asked the users' council to look into the whole of this question.
