83. Colonel Dowerasked the Postmaster-General if he will consider, in order to facilitate emergency telephone call number 999 being dialled in the dark, the practicability of this number being made luminous.
§ Mr. Wilfred PalingThe possibility of using luminous material in the telephone dial has been considered from time to time, but so far no satisfactory solution has been found. I fully recognise the advantage of the hon. and gallant Member's suggestion and the matter is being kept under constant review.
