HC Deb 02 February 1982 vol 17 cc81-2W
Mr. Golding

asked the Secretary of State for Industry if he will list the telephones waiting for consideration for testing by British Telecommunications with a view to being licensed for attachment to the public network, giving in each case country of origin and manufacture, and facilities provided.

Mr. Wakeham

[pursuant to his reply, 1 February 1982, c. 28–29]: No. The information has been provided in confidence by the applicants. I hope shortly to announce the names of those suppliers given priority for evaluation. They will be invited to submit for testing by BT samples of the extension telephones they wish to supply for connection to the BT network.
