§ MR. J. W. CROMBIE (Kincardineshire)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether the trunk line of telephone passing through Bervie will be made available to the inhabitants of that town for communication with Glasgow and the north?
§ THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. R. W. HANBURY,) PrestonI understand that a local telephone exchange has not yet been opened in Bervie, and, until this has been done, it would be premature to consider the question of a connection with the trunk telephone system.
