§ 37. Mr. DAYasked the Postmaster-General whether he can now give any further information as to the early introduction of emergency telephone calls; and will he give particulars and say when it is proposed to introduce same?
§ Major TRYONAs indicated in the reply given on 6th May to my hon. Friend the Member for Twickenham (Mr. Keeling) some months must elapse before the necessary apparatus can be installed; but the work is now in hand and will be proceeded with as expeditiously as practicable.
§ Mr. DAYDoes the right hon. and gallant Gentleman propose to adopt the suggestion of the committee which was appointed to deal with this subject?
§ Major TRYONWe are making progress with this matter, but I do not want to give out the numbers prematurely, because people might start using them before the new mechanism is ready.
