HC Deb 17 March 1969 vol 780 c38W
Mr. William Price

asked the Postmaster-General whether he is satisfied that potential telephone customers are given the full range of installation charges; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Stonehouse

The maximum connexion charge is quoted but a lower charge may be appropriate in certain circumstances. This information is included in general publicity to potential customers. A lower charge depends on a variety of factors including the amount of existing wiring and the required location of the telephone. It cannot be finally determined until the work is done.
