HC Deb 27 February 1957 vol 565 c183W
110. Mr. Ness Edwards

asked the Postmaster-General what principles govern the charges to the programme contractors for transmitting their programmes over Post Office telephone lines.

Mr. K. Thompson

Programme contractors are charged for standard facilities rented by them from the Post Office at the same tariff rates as other users of similar facilities. For non-standard facilities the normal practice is followed of assessing a special rate based on the outgoings incurred by the Post Office.
