§ MR BRIGG (Yorkshire, W.R., Keighley)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, if he will explain why one part of the telephone district around Bradford is allowed to communicate by telephone with the post office at Bradford, while other parts of the same telephone district are not allowed the same privilege.
§ MR. HANBURYA certain portion of the Bradford telephone area is also included in the Leeds area. Subscribers in that part may be connected with the exchange system in either area, but not with the systems of both areas. Several of the chief exchanges in the Bradford area are connected with the nearest post 440 offices, and not with the Bradford post office. Possibly the circumstances referred to by the hon. Member are due to these facts, but if he will kindly furnish the Postmaster General with more definite particulars, full information on the subject will be furnished.
