HC Deb 15 February 1978 vol 944 c225W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Lord President of the Council whether he will give a list of the total number of telephones and numbers in the Palace of Westminster internal telephone directory; and how these figures compare with those issued in as many previous Sessions as is convenient.

Mr. Foot

In May 1960, the Palace of Westminster internal telephone directory contained 357 telephone numbers. In 1970 there were 1,153 and in 1977 3,713. Additional intermediate figures could be furnished only at disproportionate cost.
