HC Deb 22 June 1936 vol 313 c1416
26. Mr. DAY

asked the Postmaster-General whether he can now make a further statement as to when arrangements will be completed so that, in cases of emergency, telephone subscribers and call-office users in London will have the benefit of indicating the immediate urgency of the call to the exchange; and will he give full particulars?

Major TRYON

I would refer the hon. Member to my previous answer of 25th May, in which I explained that the necessary apparatus could not be installed for some months. The work of designing and development is being proceeded with as quickly as possible.

Mr. DAY

Can the Minister say when this further announcement will be made?

Major TRYON

No, Sir.
