Mr. Greville Janner

asked the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications how many public telephone kiosks are now in operation; and approximately how many and what average number of such telephones are out of order at any particular time, as a result of vandalism.

Mr. Chataway

The information given me by the Post Office is that the total number of kiosks installed is about 75,600; kiosks out of order as a result of vandalism numbered 855 on 31st October, of which over 500 were still available for operator and emergency services.
