§ 57. Mr. Mikardoasked the Assistant Postmaster-General why hon. Members making toll or trunk calls in the House are asked whether their calls are private or official.
§ Mr. GammansThe normal rule is that trunk and toll calls made by hon. Members are charged for. An exception is made when Members holding Government office have to make such calls on official business. The procedure described by the hon. Member is necessary to enable this distinction to be made.
