§ Sir B. FALLEasked the Postmaster-General if, now the scale of telephone fees has been changed, he proposes to force old subscribers, whose yearly con- 1460W tracts may expire before the new rates come into force, to continue for three months on a contract which has been altered without their consent, or if he proposes to allow such contracts to lapse on the change of fees?
§ Mr. ILLINGWORTHThe agreements of existing subscribers are being determined as soon after 1st April as is possible under the terms of the agreement. The new rates will not apply to any particular subscriber until he has entered into a fresh agreement.
