32. Lieut.-Colonel GUINNESSasked how many telephone lines are in existence between London and Paris, and how many of these are reserved for the use of the Peace Conference?
§ Mr. ILLINGWORTHThere are ten telephone circuits between London and Paris. Six are used for the work of the Peace Conference and four for other Government work. But owing to the damaged condition of the French land lines, all these circuits are seldom available for simultaneous use. I am pressing the French Government to restore the land-lines so that the public service can be reopened.
Lieut.-Colonel GUINNESSHave facilities been allowed to the public to use the telephone line from Paris to London which have not been offered to the public in London?
§ Mr. ILLINGWORTHNot that I am aware of.
