§ 65. Sir H. BRITTAINasked the Postmaster-General to what extent it is proposed to give English girls an opportunity of studying the French telephone 'system and vice versa; and whether the same experiment is to be made between London and other foreign capitals?
§ Viscount WOLMERA scheme has been arranged under which English telephonists will visit Paris and French telephonists will visit London for short periods. The scheme applies, so far as the English telephonists are concerned, only to -those engaged on the operation of Anglo-Continental telephone lines which involve:a speaking knowledge of French. It is not at present in contemplation to arrange for English telephonists to visit ether foreign capitals.
§ Sir H. BRITTAIN:Will my Noble Friend consider extending these opportunities to Brussels, between which capital and London there is very large telephonic communication?
§ Viscount WOLMERI have nothing to add to my answer.
