HC Deb 30 June 1967 vol 749 cc148-9W
Mr. Gresham Cooke

asked the Postmaster-General on what principle the subscriber trunk dialling numbers for towns and cities are selected, in view of the fact, for instance, that the numerals 02 serve an area covering Hampshire, Warwickshire, Yorkshire, Norfolk and Northern Ireland.

Mr. Edward Short

As the answer is rather long, I am writing to the hon. Member.
