§ SIR HENRY KIMBER (Wandsworth)I beg to ask the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that the Post Office telephone exchange at Putney 1764 is so obsolete or ineffective that it is impossible for the General Post Office to give to an ordinary table instrument an extension, as the National Telephone Company does in the same district; and whether he will say what action he is going to take in the matter.
§ MR. SYDNEY BUXTONThe number of subscribers to the Post Office telephone exchange at Putney is increasing so rapidly that a new exchange is being provided for their accommodation, but I am glad to say that the exchange is neither obsolete or ineffective in any other respect. The hon. Member's question must, I think, be based on a misapprehension of the circumstances of some particular case. If he will give me particulars of the case I shall be glad to have it fully investigated.
