§ 69. Mr. E. Wakefieldasked the Assistant Postmaster-General whether he is aware that telephone subscribers are sometimes left in ignorance for a considerable period of time, when they are not themselves initiating calls, that their telephones are out of order; and whether he will take steps to remedy this deficiency in the telephone service.
§ Mr. GammansThis could only be avoided by regular tests of every subscriber's line, which would not be justified. I am not aware of any general difficulty of this kind, but if my hon. Friend has a particular case in mind, I shall be glad to make inquiry.
