Mr. Mason

asked the Postmaster-General what was the number of telephone instruments produced in the United Kingdom in 1960, and the number of these that were exported.

Mr. Bevins

Figures of telephone instruments produced in the United King- dom in 1960 are not available. Exports of complete and separately consigned instruments numbered 320,512, and, in addition, an unknown number was exported as part of complete installations. At home, the Post Office bought 633,807 telephones, but how many were bought by other users is unknown.
