§ Mr. M. Lindsayasked the Postmaster-General why Messrs. Coleman and Company, 66, Lyndon Road, Olton, Birmingham, have had four major breakdowns in their telephone service during the last six weeks; and why, when they reported that their telephone was out of order at 6.15 p.m. on 11th May, it was not repaired until 10.15 a.m. on 16th May.
§ Mr. Ness EdwardsThese interruptions were caused by cable rearrangements in the neighbourhood, involving the opening of cable joints and cross-connecting of several hundred pairs of wires. In the particular case mentioned, repair was delayed mainly by difficulty in locating the disconnection. I much regret the inconvenience to which the company has been put.
