HC Deb 13 May 1936 vol 312 c388W
Mr. ANSTRUTHER-GRAY

asked the Postmaster-General the number of telephone lines between Inverness and Edinburgh and Inverness and Glasgow, respectively; and whether it is proposed to increase these before the holiday season?

Major TRYON

There is not at present sufficient traffic between Inverness and Edinburgh to justify direct circuits and calls between these two places are passed via Aberdeen. A new direct route of two circuits will, however, be provided between. Inverness and Edinburgh before the holiday season. There are now three telephone circuits between Inverness and Glasgow and these will be increased to five before the summer season commences.
