HC Deb 29 March 1961 vol 637 cc133-4W
57. Mr. Farr

asked the Postmaster-General if he will withdraw the regulations authorising the compulsory sharing of telephones.

Miss Pike

No. My right hon. Friend would like everyone to have a choice of shared or separate telephone service, but until we have enough lines we must continue to ask some to share in order to help others. Although we are not trying to stimulate demand for telephones it is now at a record level.
