Telecommunications Equipment (Purchases)

HC Deb 09 June 1971 vol 818 c333W

3. Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications if he will give a general direction to the Post Office Corporation to increase purchases of telephone and other Post Office equipment made in the development areas.

Mr. Chataway

No. The Post Office tells me that a large proportion of its telecommunications equipment is already produced in development areas.
