§ 33. Mr. DAYasked the Postmaster-General in how many Continental telephone services personal calls can now be effected between Great Britain and Continental States; whether any of the Continental administrations have as yet not agreed to this system; and will he give particulars?
§ The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. Lees-Smith)Personal call service is available with all the 23 European countries except Switzerland with which subscribers in Great Britain have telephonic communication. Personal calls are also available on all the extra-European services available to subscribers in this country.
§ Mr. DAYCan the. Postmaster-General say whether negotiations are proceeding with Switzerland for this personal service?
§ Mr. LEES-SMITHWe have had negotiations, but, as they have no personal call service within Switzerland, they are unwilling to have an international service.
