HC Deb 25 July 1940 vol 363 cc1010-1W
Sir R. Gower

asked the Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the importance to national defence of the efficient working of the telephone system under all conditions of emergency, and the unfortunate consequences in France of the early breakdown of the telephonic system in the face of the advance of the enemy, he is satisfied that, under any circumstances, there will be complete maintenance of discipline and control in the management of the telephone system in this country?

Mr. Eden

Yes, Sir.
