HC Deb 08 December 1965 vol 722 c103W
58. Mr. Peter Griffiths

asked the Postmaster-General what provision is made for telephone subscribers to appeal against the compulsory sharing of lines.

Mr. Benn

Telephone subscribers may have to share lines in order to allow others to have service. We try to arrange sharing by agreement, but where this is not possible, telephone managers consider, in the general interest, any representations which have been made against the obligation to share.
