§ 62. Sir FRANK NELSONasked the Postmaster-General if his Department keep records enabling him to assess the standard of efficiency in the telephone system as regards quickness and accuracy of connection; and, if so, whether such standard of efficiency shows an improvement, or the reverse, for the last six months?
§ The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Sir William Mitchell-Thomson)Observations are regularly made and examination of the results for the six months ended the 568 31st December last shows that, on the average, there has been a slight improvement as regards quickness of connection while in respect of accuracy the figures are unchanged.
Mr. BECKETTIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that last week I rang up my own number from this House, and I was told that there was no such subscriber?
