§ 71. Commander Keransasked the Postmaster-General what consultations he has had with the appropriate authorities regarding modernisation of telephonic and telegraphic communications for private travellers in trains.
§ Mr. BevinsThe Post Office first discussed with British Railways the possibility of providing public telephone communication with trains in 1957 and some limited tests were made in 1960. I intend to arrange for further study of the technical and economic feasibility of such a service when the new base stations for a radiophone service in the London area come into service in about a year's time.
