§ 62. Mr. Weatherillasked the Postmaster-General if he will inquire into the position at the Addiscombe Telephone Exchange where applicants are being advised of a two-year delay owing to a shortage of equipment; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Joseph SlaterA major extension of the Addiscombe exchange is being manufactured to provide for the very rapid increase in applications for service in this area. Installation of the additional equipment will be completed by the middle of 1968, but as the existing equipment is already fully used, I regret that many applicants will have to wait for service until then.
