§ 62. Mr. J. P. FARRELLasked the Postmaster-General whether the Post Office authorities have entered into arrangements with a local butcher to engage his premises for the purpose of a central telephone exchange in Longford at the remuneration of £100 per annum for seven years; whether for many reasons such an arrangement would be objectionable to telephone users in Longford; whether there is accommodation in the new post office in Longford for the installation required in connection with this exchange; and, seeing that if he proceeds to carry out this arrangement the local guarantors for the telephone will withdraw their guarantees forthwith, will he consider the advisability of making other arrangements?
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELI am making inquiry on the subject, and will communicate the result to the hon. Member as soon as possible.
