§ 58. Mr. DUCKWORTHasked the Postmaster-General what is the estimated saving that will result from issuing the London Telephone Directory in two parts?
§ Mr. LEES-SMITHAs a result of issuing the London Telephone Directory in two parts at different times, capital expenditure of about £30,000, which would otherwise have been necessary, will be avoided.
§ Mr. DUCKWORTHCan the hon. Gentleman say whether any estimate has also been made of the inconvenience and irritation that will be caused to sub-scribers as a result of the change?
§ Mr. LEES-SMITHNo, Sir. In many ways subscribers will benefit, because new subscribers will get their names into the directory much earlier than they do under the present system.
