§ Mr. Stratton Millsasked the Postmaster-General if he will extend the telephone service to enable subscribers to telephone for details of all types of sports results, stock exchange prices and other matters of public interest.
§ Mr. Edward ShortSeveral telephone information services are already available in many towns. These include the Speaking Clock, Test Match Information, Weather, Road Weather, Recipe and Teletourist Services.
The scope for introducing further services, which would be profitable, is kept under review and I will keep the hon. Member's suggestions in mind. For the time being my first concern is, however, to augment the plant so as to remove congestion which detracts from the service in some places.
