Mr. DAY

asked the Postmaster-General the number of telephonists who have been displaced in the Metropolitan area for the 12 months ended to the last convenient date through the introduction of the automatic telephone service?

Mr. LEES-SMITH

No telephonists have been discharged as a result of the introduction of automatic working in the London telephone area, though a certain number of transfers from one exchange to another have been necessary.
