§ Sir D. Gloverasked the Postmaster-General why, on the Abbey and Whitehall Exchanges, the telephones are faulty, giving either wrong numbers or unobtainable rings on a large number of occasions.
Mr. Joseph MaterI am sorry about these difficulties which are due mainly to failures of exchange equipment. Both these exchanges, and many others in London are being overhauled, and I hope that these measures will lead to an improvement in the service.
