HC Deb 17 January 1968 vol 756 c618W
94. Mr. John Lee

asked the Postmaster-General if he will make a statement on the manning of telephone exchanges on Sundays and public holidays.

Mr. Joseph Slater:

I understand that my hon. Friend is mainly concerned with Directory Enquiries. Operators are provided to meet the expected average levels of traffic. This is, however, more variable on Sundays and public holidays than on weekdays, and it is, therefore, more difficult to give a consistent service.
