§ 13. Sir Richard Pilkingtonasked the Postmaster-General whether he will introduce a system by which two people engaged in a telephone conversation can be made aware that somebody else is desiring to speak to one or other of them.
§ Miss PikeMy right hon. Friend is grateful to my hon. Friend for this suggestion, but, unfortunately, there is no satisfactory way of providing the facility in the public service.
§ Sir Richard PilkingtonWill my hon. Friend continue to get her experts to study this matter, because if such an innovation were brought in it would save a great deal of time and exasperation?
§ Miss PikeWe will keep the matter under review, but it is not always in the interests of subscribers to have their telephone conversations interrupted in this way.
