§ MR. BELLOCI beg to ask the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that the manager of the Hampstead Telephone Exchange has specifically refused to subscriber No. 1253 any definite in formal ion as to the cause of a delay of twenty minutes upon Sunday, 11th October last, during which delay the exchange, though there was no breach in the electrical communication between it and the subscriber, failed to attend to his call; and will he say what action he proposes to take in the matter.
§ THE POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. SYDNEY BUXTON, Tower Hamlets, Poplar)It is not the case that the manager of the Hampstead Telephone Exchange declined to furnish any information to the subscriber mentioned. My hon. friend has apparently been misinformed, as the manager has been in correspondence with the subscriber in question in regard to the matter, and has given an explanation of it. There docs not seem to be any necessity, therefore, to take any further action.
§ MR. SYDNEY BUXTONCertainly.
§ MR. BELLOCI have the letter in my pocket in which he says he will not.
§ MR SYDNEY BUXTONThe hon. Gentleman had better let me see it.
