HC Deb 29 June 1914 vol 64 cc49-50W
Mr. WORTHINGTON EVANS

asked the Postmaster-General whether he will have inquiry made into the complaints that the nine lines Victoria 7120 are constantly reported engaged and ascertain the cause of the more than usual inadequate service given in respect of them?

Mr. HOBHOUSE

The matter referred to by the hon. Member is receiving careful attention. It appears from inquiry which has been made that at least some of the difficulties are due to causes outside the control of the Post Office, but steps are being taken with a view to secure a more satisfactory service.
