Telephone subscribers: Deposits held by Post Office *13. Mr. E. G. MALAN

asked the Minister of Posts and Telegraphs:

  1. (1) (a) From how many telephone subscribers and (b) for what total amount are deposits under Regulation No. 11 at present being held by the Post Office;
  2. (2) under what circumstances is it deemed necessary to require a subscriber to pay a deposit in terms of this regulation.
The MINISTER OF POSTS AND TELEGRAPHS:
  1. (1) (a) 283 181 and (b) R3 964 534 as at 28th February, 1971.
  2. (2) At the discretion of Regional Directors, deposits are usually collected in cases where a renter’s telephone service had to be suspended twice during a period of 12 months because his accounts were not paid on time, or where there is reason to doubt the credit-worthiness of an applicant for a new telephone service. I wish to explain here that the figures furnished under (1) also include deposits formerly collected from all applicants for the new telephone services on the Witwatersrand in order to protect the Department against the losses often suffered when new telephone renters “disappeared” before any account had been paid. The collection of these deposits was discontinued upon the introduction of telephone installation fees on 1st July, 1970. The Department is at present considering the repayment of all telephone deposits where considerations of creditworthiness were not the reason for their being collected.
*Mr. E. G. MALAN:

asked the Minister of Mines:

Whether rough diamond quotas of South African master diamond cutters were reduced during the first three months of 1971; if so, by what percentage.

The MINISTER OF MINES:

Basic quotas of diamond cutters have not been reduced, but due to a decrease in the production of those classes of gem diamonds acceptable to local cutters, goods which could be supplied during the first three months of 1971 were in general approximately 20 per cent less than during the corresponding period in 1970.

    2. (ii) Compassionate Leave.
      A maximum of ten days plus travelling time to a maximum of four days. This leave is only granted in cases of death or serious illness of the next-of-kin or near relative by consanguinity or affinity in the first or second degree of national servicemen or for serious domestic problems.
    3. (iii) Special leave with pay.
      For examination purposes: In this case leave is granted for the day of the examination as well as for the day prior to the examination.

  2. (b) Travelling facilities and concessions.

  3. (3) in what way are time metered call units for trunk calls brought into account in the total.
The MINISTER OF POSTS AND TELEGRAPHS:
  1. (1) (a), (b) and (c) Yes.
  2. (2) No, because it is not practically feasible. Automatically dialled calls, are automatically registered in call units on subscribers’ meters and the equipment cannot distinguish between successful and unsuccessful calls.

Culling of seals off S.W.A. coast 493. Mr. J. W. E. WILEY

asked the Minister of Economic Affairs:

  1. (1) (a) How many seals are permitted to be culled annually off the coast of South-West Africa and (b) what was the figure for (i) 1960 and (ii) 1965 to 1970;
  2. (2) whether consideration has been given to further culling in view of the present state of the South-West African fishing industry; if so, what steps are contemplated.
The MINISTER OF ECONOMIC AFFAIRS:
  1. (1)
    1. (a) There is no limitation.
    2. (b) In respect of seal culling undertaken by the Department of Industries on Sinclair, Albatross and Long Islands opposite the South-West African coast the particulars are as follows:

      2. (ii) 7 669, 1 370, 2 684, 6 383 and 4 565, respectively.
        As the control over seals in South-West Africa was only transferred to the Department of Industries with effect from 1st April, 1969, the required information in respect of seals culled by private concessionaries can only be furnished for the years 1969 and 1970, in which cases the figures were 50 829 and 60 536, respectively.
  2. (2) Yes.
    1. (a) Tenders have already been invited for an additional private seal culling concession at Hollam’s Bird Island and the other smaller islands north of Luderitz.
    2. (b) Consideration is being given to persuading the concessionary at Cape Cross to intensify the culling of seals in his concession area.
    3. (c) The designing of special nets for the catching of seals, as well as the utilization of certain harmless deterrents on boats in order to alleviate or obviate the nuisance caused by seals to the fishing industry, are presently receiving attention.

I wish, however, to state clearly that it is not the intention to allow the culling of seals in an uncontrolled manner and, by doing so, to cause an unbalance in nature.
