§ 36. Mr. Weatherillasked the Postmaster-General why, in the course of printing the new Croydon telephone directory, the postal codes have been omitted from the addresses of subscribers.
§ Mr. Edward ShortPostal codes were not included because this would have increased the size and cost of the directory, and because of the risk that postal codes would have been dialled instead of telephone numbers.
These difficulties would prevent postal codes being included at present, but the long-term arrangements are under review.
