HC Deb 29 November 1912 vol 44 c1758W
Mr. HUME-WILLIAMS

asked the Postmaster-General whether, when a subscriber to the telephone system has two instruments in his house and desires two directories, he has to pay 2s. for the second; and, if so, why?

Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL

A subscriber is supplied free of charge with a copy of the Telephone Directory for each line which he rents to the exchange, but not as a rule for every instrument connected with his exchange line or lines. A small charge is made for additional copies, according to the size of the particular directory required. Two shillings is the charge for the London Directory, which is the largest issued.
