§ 83. Mr. W. G. Bennettasked the Postmaster-General if he is aware of the growing discontent with the telephone service in the Glasgow area; if any record is kept of wrong numbers given; and if a wrong number is given, whether it is automatically charged.
§ Mr. Ness EdwardsRegular sampling of the service shows that Glasgow compares favourably with other large cities and that there are very few wrong numbers. A charge is registered for a call as soon as the connection is completed. If the caller reports to the operator when he has had a wrong number, the charge is cancelled. Otherwise, no special record is kept.
