HC Deb 03 July 1928 vol 219 c1156
32. Sir H. BRITTAIN

asked the Postmaster General the average number of telephone calls originating in Great Britain to the United States of America and Canada between the hours of 12.30 p.m. and 11 p.m., British time, on Sundays during the present year?

Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSON

Approximately five, or including calls of Continental origin, 11.7.

Mr. DAY

Does the right hon. Gentleman not think that some reduction in the closing down of the service on Sunday would lead to its greater use?

Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSON

At the moment I am not sorry to have a little spare time on Sunday, as Sunday is used for experimental work.
