§ MR. BARTLEY (Islington, N.)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether he can state when the Post Office telephone system in London will be ready to arrange for the reception of subscribers.
§ MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAINIt is hoped that it will be possible to connect the premises of subscribers with some of the principal Exchanges in about five or six months time if no further delay occurs owing to the difficulty of carrying out structural alterations in buildings in which other Post Office work is being carried on.
