HC Deb 21 October 1971 vol 823 c185W
Mr. Hall-Davis

asked the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications what proportion of telephone subscribers in the United Kingdom now has full subscriber trunk-dialling facilities; and whether he will now give a general direction for the level of charges to other subscribers to be reduced for trunk calls of less than three minutes.

Mr. Chataway

These are matters for the Post Office, but I understand that 92 per cent. of telephone subscribers in the United Kingdom have subscriber trunk-dialling facilities, enabling them to dial most of their calls.
