Mr. Mason

asked the Postmaster-General what was the expenditure of the Post Office on research and development within the field covered by bulk supply agreements and for which he estimates that £2 million is spent by the other parties to the bulk supply agreements.

Mr. Mawby

We estimate that Post Office expenditure on research and development within the fields covered by the bulk supply agreements for telephone apparatus and exchange equipment is running at the annual rate of about £1½ million.
