§ Colonel DAYasked the Postmaster-General whether the experiment as to the dictation of telegrams and urgent Letters to post offices, through public telephone call boxes, was successful; and whether he contemplates an extension, so as to allow telegraphic messages to be dictated from public telephone call boxes?
§ Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSONThe number of telegrams dictated from unattended public telephone call offices during the period of the experiment has not been very large, but the additional service appeals to meet a. public need, and I am arranging for the system to be introduced generally. It should perhaps be mentioned that facilities for dictating telegrams and letters have been available for many years at call offices where an attendant is on duty.
