HC Deb 24 October 1961 vol 646 c76W
Mr. Russell

asked the Postmaster-General when he expects to be able to announce reductions in charges for telephone calls from the United Kingdom to Canada.

Mr. Bevins

I have no plans for reducing charges for telephone calls from the United Kingdom to Canada. From 1st November the Canadians are reducing the charges for calls from Canada to the United Kingdom. The Canadian charges are at present higher than ours, and the change will bring the two into line.
