§ 102. Mr. Osborneasked the Postmaster-General how far his policy of compelling old telephone subscribers who change their address, and surrender their private line to share a fresh line, is rigidly enforced; what groups are exempt and on what grounds; and why doctors are not included.
§ Mr. Ness EdwardsAll removing residential subscribers are required to accept liability to share their new lines, except only where sharing would be prejudicial to the national interest or to the efficiency of the telephone service. Doctors are not liable to share the lines to their surgeries.
