Mr. Gresham Cookeasked the Postmaster-General why subscribers on the Sloane exchange are getting so many crossed lines; when the faults will be rectified; and what arrangements are being made to refund to subscribers money spent on wasted calls.
§ Mr. BevinsI am sorry about these difficulties. An equipment fault has now been traced and repaired and I hope there will be no further trouble. The telephone manager has authority to make refunds as appropriate.
