HC Deb 14 April 1930 vol 237 c2644W
Mr. GRAHAM WHITE

asked the Postmaster-General at what intervals mouthpieces of telephones in public telephone cabinets are cleaned and disinfected?

Mr. LEES-SMITH

Telephone mouthpieces and earpieces at attended cabinets are cleaned daily by means of a cloth moistened with suitable disinfectant; at other cabinets the frequency depends on local circumstances, e.g., in London kiosks, the telephones are cleaned at least once a week.
