§ Rear-Admiral Sir M. Sueterasked the Postmaster-General whether any recent experiments have been conducted in connection with ventilating public telephone kiosks that are in constant use; and whether some simple ventilation contrivance can be devised and, if satisfac- 696W tory, adopted, in the interests of public comfort and health, in positions where a no per cent. noise-proof telephone kiosk is not necessary?
§ Major TryonIf the question refers to kiosks in the open, of which practically all are necessarily on or near the highway, my information is that the noise problem is far more important than that of ventilation. If, however, the question refers to cabinets indoors, I can assure my hon. and gallant Friend that the question of improvement in ventilation is being actively pursued.
