Summary
Deasy complained that the Department’s telephone number went unanswered. Woods said 40 lines were operating but were inadequate, and a larger telephone system was being installed.
——not really playing the game when he put down so many questions. If we all let these questions run there would be hundreds on the Order Paper today. The Minister said he wished to make the system work more efficiently. That being so why is the telephone number of the Department, 786444, not being answered?
Comment on this
There are 40 lines but they are not adequate and we have had underway for some time past the installation of a totally new and enlarged PABX system. It is a question of when that can be completed. There are 40 lines in operation.
