asked what, if any, inquiry has been made into the feasibility and value of introducing into this country the automatic telephone system which has been tested in certain cities in America?

As I stated in reply to a question on 30th November, three experimental automatic telephone exchanges are about to be installed at Epsom, Caterham, and the General Post Office.
