Vol. 346 No. 10

Written Answers. - Telephone Service.

309.

asked the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs if he will introduce legislation to provide free public telephones in centres and halls which are the property of community, sporting and voluntary organisations where large groups of people meet on a regular basis.

I would regard it as inappropriate to require telephone users generally to subsidise the provision of telephone service for the organisations referred to. I do not propose, therefore, to draft legislation on the lines requested.
