HC Deb 03 February 1975 vol 885 cc426-7W
Mr. Trotter

asked the Lord President of the Council whether he will cancel the instruction for the House of Commons telex number to be ex-directory; and, if not, why not.

Mr. Edward Short

No. The installation of a telex in the House of Commons was at the request of the Post Office, which made it clear that it would only be able to handle outgoing traffic.
