TRANSATLANTIC TELEPHONE CHARGES.

HC Deb 29 July 1930 vol 242 c291W

Mr. WELLOCK

asked the Postmaster-General whether the reduction in Transatlantic telephone charges has led to an increase of traffic; and, if so, to what extent?

Mr. LEES-SMITH

The recent reduction in Transatlantic telephone charges has resulted in an increase in traffic. The figures up to date are about 12 per cent. higher than those for the corresponding period last year.
