HC Deb 24 November 1948 vol 458 c120W
85. Sir I. Fraser

asked the Postmaster-General if, in order to facilitate telephone calls by the public to the police, he will arrange to alter all chief constables' office numbers to 1212 or to 12121.

Mr. Wilfred Paling

The possibility of adopting the hon. Member's suggestion has been fully examined in the past, but I regret that it is impracticable. I am sending the hon. Member a full explanation of the technical difficulties.
