HC Deb 16 November 1967 vol 754 c160W
35. Mr. Wolrige-Gordon

asked the Postmaster-General why incoming tenants have to pay for new telephones to be installed in their new houses even if they have already paid for new telephones installed in the house they have left.

Mr. Edward Short

Because payments in respect of the old house related to the installation there, and do not contribute to the work at the new house.
