L: Her Majesty’s Stationery Office 1898.
xxxvi + 659pp. 13 x 8˝. Cloth spine on stout grey boards. Hardback. Some fraying/tearing to top of backstrip, and minor wear to edges of covers; small library stamp on title-page; otherwise very good.
The terms of reference for this Select Committee were "To inquire and report whether the Telephone Service is, or is calculated to become, of such general benefit as to justify its being undertaken by municipal and other local authorities, regard being had to local finance; and, if so, whether such local authorities should have power to undertake such service in the districts of other local authorities outside the area of their own jurisdiction, but comprised wholly or partially in the same telephone area, and what powers, duties, and obligations ought to be conferred or imposed upon such local authorities." The principal questions to be answered were 1.) Is the telephone service of general benefit, or likely to become so? 2.) Is the Post Office hindered by legal agreement or otherwise from competing with the National Telephone Company? 3.) Ought there to be competition, or should the telephone service be run by local authorities?
