HC Deb 28 November 1906 vol 166 c64
MR. GIBB (Middlesex, Harrow)

I beg to ask the Postmaster-General whether he can say when telephonic facilities will be extended to Hendon.

THE POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. SYDNEY BUXTON, Tower Hamlets, Poplar)

I regret that I cannot at present say when I shall be able to extend telephonic facilities to Hendon. One obstacle— though not the only one—is the high charge which the urban district council desires to make for reinstatement of paving, etc., after the underground wires have been laid.
