§ Mrs. Peacockasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will lower the minimum revenue cut-off figure of £185 per annum for the preserving of telephone kiosks after the denationalisation of British Telecom.
§ Mr. ButcherNo. The figure of £185 for a call box's annual revenue below which the call box can be withdrawn was agreed between British Telecom and the Post Office Users' National Council in 1981. British Telecom's licence, which was laid before the House on 26 June, provides that this arrangement will continue.
