HC Deb 23 June 1965 vol 714 c208W
59. Mr. Gresham Cooke

asked the Postmaster General how often supplies of telephone directories at London underground stations are checked; and why, among 36 telephone directories at Tottenham Court Road underground station public telephone boxes, there is no copy of the L-R directory.

Mr. Benn

The availability of telephone directories is checked every other day at the main underground stations in London and twice weekly at the remainder. I am sorry that, due to a temporary shortage of copies of the L-R directory, the books which had been taken from the Tottenham Court Road station over a period were not immediately replaced, but this has now been put right.
