HC Deb 28 October 1953 vol 518 c361W
26. Mr. Erroll

asked the Assistant Postmaster-General why the Explanatory Note to Statutory Instrument No. 1458, which amends the rate of charge for special entries in certain telephone directories, does not indicate whether the rates are increased or decreased.

Mr. Gammans

I would refer my hon. Friend to the fourth line of the Explanatory Note which, I hope, makes it clear that the present rates generally remain unchanged. The only difference is that people living in the five outer-London areas will, in future, pay the lower provincial rate, instead of the London rate as at present. This point is amplified in the last sentence of the Explanatory Note.
