§ 32. Mr. DORANasked the Postmaster-General what safeguard has the user of an automatic telephone on the dialling system, from being charged for wrong numbers or a call to which there is no reply?
§ Sir K. WOODWrong numbers are comparatively rare, and there has been appreciable improvement in this respect since the installation of automatic telephone exchanges. Where a wrong connection is made, the calling subscriber should notify the operator in order that credit may be allowed. A call is not recorded by the automatic meter unless the called subscriber's telephone is answered.
