TELEPHONE INSTRUMENTS, HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT. (Hansard, 2 March 1931)

HC Deb 02 March 1931 vol 249 c23 23

§ 50. Mr. HACKING
asked the Postmaster-General when he intends to replace existing telephone instruments in the Houses of Parliament by the newer type of one-piece instruments?

§ The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. Lees-Smith)
The new type of instrument has been fitted in the 21 telephone cabinets used by hon. Members.

§ Mr. HACKING
Is it a fact that the Postmaster-General had forgotten all about the House of Commons previous to this question being placed on the Notice Paper?

§ Mr. LEES-SMITH
No. I communicated with the Serjeant-at-Arms several weeks ago on this matter.
