HC Deb 09 November 1964 vol 701 cc23-4W
Sir W. Anstruther-Gray

asked the Postmaster-General, what is the cost of a telephone call from Haddington to Edinburgh; and how this compares with other calls of a similar distance.

Mr. Benn

The charge is 1s. for three minutes in the full-rate period, and 9d. for three minutes in the cheap-rate period. This charge is determined in accordance with the group-charging system which applies uniformly throughout the country.
