HC Deb 20 July 1882 vol 272 cc1086-7
MR. GRAY

asked the First Commissioner of Works, Whether he will consider the desirability of placing the House of Commons in telephonic communication with the Telephone Exchange, and also of placing one of the Exchange telegraph instruments in the House for the convenience of Members?

MR. SHAW LEFEVRE

I shall endeavour, during the Recess, to make arrangements in the direction aimed at by the hon. Member. The only difficulty is the want of a suitable room for the purpose.
