§ Mr. BevinsI am sorry that this information is not available in the precise form asked for. In 1963 there were nearly 55,000 cases of damage in England and Wales which cost about £64,000 to put right. This cost has to be borne by telephone users generally.
§ Commander Keransasked the Postmaster-General how many prosecutions were successfully undertaken in cases of vandalism to telephone kiosks in 1963.
