Mr. Ryan
asked the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs if, as a means of combating the spread of infection by the use of telephones, he will consider providing a public service for the regular disinfection and cleaning of telephones at reasonable charges to telephone subscribers on request.
The provision by the Post Office of a cleaning and disinfecting service for subscribers' telephones would not be practicable.
