§ 18. Mr. Shepherdasked the Assistant Postmaster-General what provisions are being made as part of a long-term policy to provide shared telephone service in which the conversations of one subscriber are inaudible to the other on a party-line.
§ Mr. GammansNone. Such an arrangement would mean considerable extra cost and, therefore, increased charges. Our aim is to give subscribers the choice between shared and exclusive service as soon as we can.
