HC Deb 30 July 1952 vol 504 cc136-7W
60. Mr. Langford-Holt

asked the Assistant Postmaster-General whether he will include as part of the instructions to users posted in public telephone boxes a notice informing them that the box should not be occupied for a longer period than six minutes when others are waiting to use the box.

Mr. Gammans

The present instructions include a notice requesting callers to be brief as others may be waiting to make a call. I propose to have the notice reprinted in heavier, and more striking, type. I do not favour inclusion of a definite time limit which it would not be possible to enforce.
