Unshared Lines

HC Deb 09 February 1967 vol 740 cc344-5W

42. Mr. Eadie

asked the Postmaster-General when he expects to be able to offer telephone users on party lines the opportunity to have an unshared line.

Mr. Joseph Slater

Our aim is to offer unshared lines as soon as the local plant position permits. The speed at which we can achieve this depends on our capital expenditure programme, and the priorities we can assign to local relief schemes.
