HC Deb 30 January 1952 vol 495 cc30-1W
67. Mr. C. I. Orr-Ewing

asked the Assistant Postmaster-General how much money has so far been expended in developing equipment to provide telephone subscribers with up to date weather forecasts by dialling WEA; when will development be completed; and what is the estimated annual revenue from this service.

Mr. Gammans

No expenditure has been required or incurred for developing new equipment for this service. As regards estimated revenue, it is very difficult to make any reliable assessment for a specialised service like this.
