HL Deb 29 July 1982 vol 434 c448WA
Lord Molloy

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will empower British Telecom to provide dentists with "priority users' status" for their telephones.

The Minister of State for Defence Procurement (Viscount Trenchard)

The provision of telephone services is an operational matter for which British Telecom already has responsibility. I understand that British Telecom take the view that too wide an extension of the priority line service would reduce its effectiveness.

House adjourned at five minutes before nine o'clock.
