HC Deb 29 April 1930 vol 238 c27
39. Mr. DAY

asked the Postmaster-General at what intervals mouthpieces of telephones in public telephone cabinets are cleaned and disinfected?

The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. Lees-Smith)

I would refer my hon. Friend to my reply on the 14th instant to the hon. Member for Birkenhead East (Mr. Graham White).

Mr. DAY

Is it not a fact that in many public telephone offices the mouthpieces are seriously in need of attention?

Mr. LEES-SMITH

They are cleaned once a week.

Mr. HARRIS

Was anything done about them before Easter?
