HC Deb 21 November 1961 vol 649 c116W
85. Sir E. Errington

asked the Postmaster-General what arrangements are made to give a rebate on rentals in cases where telephone subscribers are unable to use their lines due to failure of service for which the subscriber is not responsible.

Mr. Bevins

Telephone subscribers are not entitled to abatement of rental for failures of service, but telephone managers have discretion to allow rebates in individual cases.
