HC Deb 12 February 1964 vol 689 cc72-3W
92. Sir J. Langford-Holt

asked the Postmaster-General whether he will provide shared line telephones at greatly reduced cost to elderly people who share this service with three others.

Mr. Bevins

The possibility of providing a service of this kind has been examined on several occasions in the past and again in the light of my hon. Friend's Question, but I am sorry to say that it has not so far been found feasible to devise an adequate service at a significantly lower charge.
