HC Deb 10 March 1949 vol 462 c144W
Mr. Grimston

asked the Postmaster-General if he will give an estimate of the reduction in telephone revenue which would follow the removal of the surcharges imposed during the war.

Mr. Wilfred Paling

It is estimated that on the current level of business the removal of the surcharges would reduce telephone revenue (including the value of services rendered to other Government Departments) by £16½ million a year.
