HC Deb 04 July 1973 vol 859 cc116-7W
Mr. Simeons

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement on the change in method of numbering telephone points on the Ml motorway, from a chronological sequence to four-figured identification, being a difference of 16 between the final two digits on most occasions but 17 on random occasions; what views were sought from the recovery service before the change was made; and why it was made.

Mr. Peyton

The change is being made to enable the telephone facilities to be improved at a later date.
