§ Mr. Ness Edwardsasked the Postmaster-General if a new policy has been introduced in the telephone service resulting in the withdrawal of telephone kiosks from isolated villages in South Wales.
§ Mr. BevinsNo, there has been no change in policy. I always have regard both to public amenity and to public finance when considering the provision or withdrawal of telephone kiosks. No kiosk has been withdrawn from rural areas in South Wales, but one which was seldom used was withdrawn from Cwmheldeg in 1962.
