§ Sir Knox Cunninghamasked the Postmaster-General if he will provide those telephone subscribers living on the border of a telephone area with a free issue of the telephone directory for the neighbouring area; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. BevinsA telephone subscriber is supplied, on request, with a free issue of the directory for a neighbouring area within the United Kingdom if there is an important exchange in that area within ten miles of his own exchange. In some areas we also supply local directories serving districts with a strong community of interest which overlap the borders of two or more main directory areas.
80WThese arrangements meet the needs of most subscribers, but, if my hon. Friend has any particular case in mind and will let me know, I will be pleased to look into it.
