HC Deb 06 July 1964 vol 698 c54W
Mr. Dudley Smith

asked the Postmaster-General if he will issue a general instruction to all telephone exchanges and supervisors that where a telephone has been out of order, the subscriber is informed by call as soon as it is in working order again.

Mr. Bevins

There is already an instruction that this should be done when the subscriber would otherwise not know that the line was back in working order. I am sorry if it has been overlooked on occasions. I am issuing a reminder to those concerned.
