HC Deb 01 May 1934 vol 289 c162W
Mr. D. G. SOMERVILLE

asked the Postmaster-General, in view of the recent expansion in the number of large blocks of flats in London and elsewhere which operate telephone exchanges, what steps he takes to limit the amount of profit which the owners of such blocks make from their tenants by the operation of such exchanges through charging more than the current rate for calls and other means?

Sir K. WOOD

Telephone installations are provided for the owners of blocks of flats at the normal rates, and the charges referred to are made by the owners to their tenants, but I am having the subject further examined.
