HC Deb 19 July 1968 vol 768 c286W
Mr. Milne

asked the Postmaster-General how many Trimphones have been installed since this type of equipment was introduced; how many visits have been paid to subscribers following installation; and what future orders are still in hand for this type of telephone equipment.

Mr. Stonehouse

About 36,000 Trimphones had been installed by the end of June. Since national introduction in February monthly sales have averaged 4,350. Separate records of visits made following installation are not maintained. Most orders are met within about two weeks and it is, therefore, estimated that about 2,100 are waiting completion.
