HC Deb 04 August 1899 vol 75 c1487
SIR HARRY BULLARD (Norwich)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether he is aware that serious inconvenience is occasioned in consequence of the inefficient trunk line telephone communication between Norwich and Great Yarmouth; and whether he will take steps to remedy the same.

MR. HANBURY

An additional circuit between those places was opened in March last, and at present more than 50 per cent. of the calls are effected within five minutes. The electrical working of the wires is satisfactory. The traffic, however, is growing, and the Postmaster-General has at present under consideration the provision of additional facilities.
