asked the Postmaster-General if he is aware that post offices are inadequately provided with telephone directories; and what he proposes to do to remedy this defect.

A local telephone directory is provided in every telephone call office, including those associated with rural post offices. At larger post offices, a range of telephone directories is available for the use of the public. If the hon. Member will let me know of any individual post offices which are inadequately provided with telephone directories, I shall be glad to look into the matter.
