§ 83. Mr. MEYSEY-THOMPSONasked the Postmaster-General whether be can now say when the telephone exchange, promised nearly a year ago, for Staveley, Yorkshire, will be ready for use?
§ Mr. HOBHOUSEThe promise to open an exchange at Staveley, provided that a certain amount of support is forthcoming, was made last January. I am ascertaining if this condition has now been met, and, if it has, the work will be put in hand at once.
§ Mr. MEYSEY-THOMPSONIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that the Post Office promised the exchange if a certain sum were guaranteed, and that that sum was guaranteed, and that there was a promise that it would be put up within six months?
§ Mr. HOBHOUSEI state in my answer, "I am ascertaining if this condition has been met, and, if it has, the work will be put in hand at once."
