HC Deb 25 November 1957 vol 578 cc91-2W
Captain Kerby

asked the Postmaster-General how many subscribers have given up their telephones in the Brighton area since the recent increase in telephone rentals.

Mr. Marples

In the Brighton Telephone Manager's Area 3,424 subscribers have given up their telephones since the 18th July when the increased tariffs were announced. Not all of these are attributed to the increased charges as in the corresponding period prior to the announcement there were 1,670 cessations.

Over 2,500 new subscribers have been connected since the 18th July.
