HC Deb 14 November 1968 vol 773 cc122-3W
46. Mr. Waddington

asked the Postmaster-General what consideration he has given to the installation of telephones free of charge in the homes of physically disabled persons living alone; and what conclusion he has reached.

Mr. Stonehouse

I have much sympathy with the disabled and other deserving people, but concessionary charges by the Post Office are not an appropriate way of dealing with this problem.
