HC Deb 19 June 1969 vol 785 c132W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that the General Post Office Telephone Service charge 2s. if a customer requests a detailed statement of a bill for trunk call charges, etc.; and whether he will refer this to the National Board for Prices and Incomes.

Mr. Stonehouse

All bills already show the date of trunk calls made via the operator. The charge is made only when a customer wants regularly particulars of the numbers called. This involves us in extra work. The charge made does not cover the cost of providing the information.
