§ 86. Mr. T. JOHNSTONasked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware of the delays on the telephone service on the Bridge-of-Allan, Glasgow route; and if, in view of the repeated complaints and protests which have been made to his Department without the delays being obviated, he will say what steps he proposes to take to secure an efficient service in this area?
§ The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. Hartshorn)Telephone communication between Bridge-of-Allan and Glasgow is effected through Stirling, and the present number of circuits between Stirling and Glasgow is insufficient to meet the growing demands of the service. Additional circuits are being provided in a new underground cable which is due to be completed shortly.
