HC Deb 01 February 1937 vol 319 c1278
27. Sir M. Barclay-Harvey

asked the Postmaster-General whether he will arrange to have a complete telephone directory of Scotland sent to all Scottish subscribers instead of local editions as at present?

Major Tryon

It is already the practice to supply subscribers who make numerous calls to subscribers in adjoining exchange areas with the directories for those areas if they wish to have them. I do not think there is justification for a general supply of directories of all areas; and the cost of such an arrangement, which could not be restricted to Scotland, would, at the least, exceed £250,000.
