HC Deb 18 May 1949 vol 465 cc20-1W
26. Commander Noble

asked the Postmaster-General what is the cost of production and distribution of his recent leaflet, "Installing the Telephone—What it Means," and of the two leaflets entitled, "Sharing a Telephone," and how many persons are employed in this manner.

Mr. Wilfred Paling

The cost of producing the leaflet "Installing the Telephone—What it Means" was £160; that of the two versions of the leaflet "Sharing a Telephone" £250. No staff was exclusively employed on this work, and no cost is incurred in distribution, as the leaflets are sent out in normal course of correspondence or interview with applicants for telephone service. These pamphlets more than pay for themselves in the saving of correspondence.
