HC Deb 29 July 1931 vol 255 cc2278-9
48. Mr. MACPHERSON

asked the Postmaster-General if he can now say whether it is proposed to grant the telephone and postal facilities desired by the community of Coigach and Achiltibuie, Ross-shire?

The ASSISTANT POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. Viant)

The provision of telephone call office facilities at Achiltibuie to serve the Coigach district would involve heavy annual costs, much in excess of the estimated receipts; and a substantial guarantee would be required. I am making further inquiries into the possibility of establishing a telephone exchange. I will write to the hon. Member shortly as regards postal facilities.
