HC Deb 22 June 1949 vol 466 c25W
67. Mr. S. Marshall

asked the Postmaster-General on what basis he makes a charge of £3 10s. per annum for a shared telephone line, whilst the charge for a full line is only £4.

Mr. Wilfred Paling

The annual rent for shared telephone service is 11s. 6d. less than that for exclusive service as a recognition of the inconvenience that occasionally results from the sharing.
