§ Sir WILLIAM BULLasked the Postmaster-General if he can see his way to reduce the payment in advance for the rent of a telephone from twelve months to three months, and the notice to terminate the agreement to rent it from six months to three months
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELThe question of quarterly payment of telephone subscriptions is being considered in connection with the revision of the rates of subscription. As regards notices to terminate telephone agreements, I have already arranged some months ago that subscribers who entered into contracts with the National Telephone Company, under which six months' notice is necessary, may be allowed to terminate agreements on the same conditions as subscribers who entered into contracts with the Post Office, under which three months' notice only is necessary.
