§ Dr. Segalasked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that a number of telephone instruments would be made 218W available by an increased issue of plug-in points; and whether these will now be more extensively provided.
§ Mr. Wilfred PalingPortable telephones which can be used from a number of plug-in points, are installed in suitable cases, but the arrangement is of limited application. I should perhaps add that delay in providing telephone service generally arises from shortage of exchange equipment or of wire in underground cables, rather than from shortage of telephone instruments.
