Text of statute as originally enacted |
The Telephone Transfer Act 1911 (1 & 2 Geo. 5. c. 26) was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, which nationalised the telephone companies.
The National Telephone Company had become a monopoly and so the Liberal[citation needed] government decided to take it into public hands.
