HC Deb 10 March 1983 vol 38 c485W
Mr. Greville Janner

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will seek power to place an obligation on local authorities to provide for the installation of telephones in the homes of elderly and housebound people.

Mr. Rossi

I have no plans to seek to supplement existing powers which local authorities have to assist elderly and disabled people with the installation of telephones.
