HC Deb 30 October 1912 vol 43 c452
94. Captain CRAIG

asked the Postmaster-General whether he is now in a position to say that a public telephone call office will be established at Downpatrick, county Down?

The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. Herbert Samuel)

The cost of extending the telephone system to Downpatrick would not be justified by the receipts from a call office only. The financial aspect of opening a call office in conjunction with an exchange is, however, being considered, and I hope to be in a position to arrive at a decision shortly.
