§ Mr. ANSTRUTHER-GRAYasked 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 TRYONThere 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.
