§ Mr. Simonasked the Postmaster-General the practice of the Post Office when requested by a landlord to remove a telephone installation situated in part of the premises occupied by a tenant, regardless of the wishes of the tenant and even though the tenant is the subscriber; whether he is aware that landlords are requesting the Post Office to remove telephones in retaliation against tenants who get a local authority to serve a notice of disrepair; and what action he proposes to take to put a stop to such victimisation of tenants.
Dr. HillTwo such cases have come to my notice recently. I am studying the98W problem in the light of the Telegraph Act, 1863, and will write to my hon. and learned Friend.
