HC Deb 19 July 1960 vol 627 c40W
Mr. Gresham Cooke

asked the Postmaster-General how the price of £6, which his Department pays for a new telephone instrument, compares with the price for comparable equipment available to him from overseas.

Mr. Bevins

Telephone instruments used in different countries have widely differing performances. Prices of telephones available from overseas are not therefore directly comparable.
