HC Deb 16 March 1967 vol 743 c136W
38. Mr. Bryant Godman Irvine

asked the Postmaster-General what consideration he has given to the possibility of reduced rental for the telephone service for pensioners and invalids who live alone; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Edward Short

As I said in my reply to the hon. Member for Stroud (Mr. Kershaw) on 10th March, I have much sympathy with pensioners and others, but concessionary charges by the Post Office would not be an appropriate way of meeting such difficulties.—[Vol. 742, c.358.]
