§ 65. Colonel DAYasked the Postmaster-General the number of telephone calls that have been passed either between this country and the Dominion of Canada or vice versa since the inception of the service, and the average duration of each call?
§ Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSONThe totals up to 18th November were:
The average duration of these calls was 4 minutes 48 seconds.
Calls. To Canada 28 From Canada 13 41
§ Colonel DAYIs it not a fact that the reason the service is used so slightly is because of the very high charges that are made?
§ Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSONI do not think the hon. Member can draw any such deduction from the figures. Last 1607 week's traffic from this country was the best that we have ever had.
§ Colonel DAYCan the right hon. Gentleman say what last week's traffic was?
§ Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSONNot without notice.
