HC Deb 13 February 1958 vol 582 c91W
Mr. Body

asked the Postmaster-General when it is proposed to include Brentwood within the 3d. London telephone area.

Mr. Marples

The 3d. charge applies to calls within the London group itself, and calls between London and the groups immediately adjoining. The Brentwood group is outside these limits, and I could not agree to its inclusion without departing from the principles of the group charging system, which have been applied uniformly throughout the country.
