§ Mr. WASONasked the Postmaster-General if he will grant permission to the inhabitants of Flotta, Orkney, some 400, to use the telephone on payment of the usual charges; and whether arrangements have now been completed with the Admiralty for utilising the telephones put up by the Admiralty in the Highlands and Islands?
§ Mr. ILLINGWORTHIt has been arranged to retain in position any telephone circuits provided by the Post Office for the Admiralty and no longer required by them until the possibility of using the circuits for the public telegraph or telephone service has been considered, and a number of suggestions on the subject are under inquiry. I will ascertain whether anything can be done in the case of Flotta.
