§ 17. Mr. Jannerasked the Postmaster-General for what reason charges for telephone calls between France and Great 46W Britain cannot be reversed by the mutual request of those concerned; and whether steps can now be taken to introduce this facility with a view to increasing the efficiency of the Anglo-French service.
§ Mr. MarplesI will be glad to look into this in consultation with the French Administration. But special charges would be necessary to safeguard our revenue since the rates for telephone calls from the United Kingdom to France are lower than for calls in the reverse direction.
