HC Deb 18 November 1930 vol 245 cc256-7W
Sir W. DAVISON

asked the Postmaster-General what would be the additional cost of inserting the telephone number before the charge for each trunk call and phonogram in the quarterly statement of accounts sent to telephone subscribers?

Mr. LEES-SMITH

The number of trunk calls and phonograms is over 128,000,000 a year, and it is estimated that the cost of inserting in all subscribers' quarterly accounts details of the exchange and number in the case of each trunk call and of the destination in the case of each phonogram would be of the order of £100,000 per annum.
