HC Deb 31 March 1926 vol 193 cc2040-1
79. Mr. TREVELYAN

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury if his attention has been called to the far more economical, and yet equally efficient, system of printing the telephone directories in New York as compared with London; and whether he will consider the American method and its applicability to this country?

Mr. McNEILL

I am aware of the New York method of setting up telephone directories, and its applicability to the London Telephone Directory has been under consideration for some time.

Sir A. HOLBROOK

Are tenders asked from private firms as well as from the. Government Stationery Department?
