Test Match Scores

HC Deb 16 May 1956 vol 552 cc179-80W

Captain Orr

asked the Postmaster-General whether he will arrange a telephone service giving test match scores on the lines of the London weather forecast service.

Dr. Hill

Yes. With the co-operation of the Marylebone and Surrey Cricket Clubs, I am arranging, as an experiment, that, during the Test Matches at Lords and the Oval this year, London subscribers may hear a record of the score by calling WEBber 8811.
