HC Deb 28 May 1952 vol 501 c155W
48. Major Guy Lloyd

asked the Assistant Postmaster-General whether Government Department demands for extra telephones are automatically met or are subject to investigation as to need by the Post Office.

Mr. Gammans

The responsibility for deciding whether an additional telephone is required rests ultimately on the Department asking for it. The function of the Post Office is to advise on the most economical way of meeting the Department's needs.
