§ 9. Sir F. Medlicottasked the Postmaster-General if, in relation to the new design for telephone kiosks, he will consider the possibility of incorporating in a prominent position in the upper part of each box, on at least two sides, the name of the village, township or district in which the kiosk is situated.
§ Mr. K. ThompsonMy right hon. Friend is considering this matter and will write as soon as possible to the hon. Gentleman.
§ Sir F. MedlicottIs my hon. Friend aware that many districts, especially villages and suburbs, are very anonymous at night and that a device such as is suggested would be of great help in enabling people, especially motorists, to know where they are and would also secure still further good will to his Department?
§ Mr. ThompsonThese are among the considerations which we will take into account, but I must remind the House that there are some considerable arguments against the course proposed.
