§ 25. Mr. Gallacherasked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware of the delay and confusion caused through the Methil fire station being attached to the Leven telephone exchange; and whether he will grant the request of the burgh of Buckhaven and Methil that the telephone at the fire station shall be transferred to the Buckhaven exchange without charge being made?
§ The Postmaster-General (Mr. W. S. Morrison)No complaint of delay or confusion owing to the connection of the Methil fire station with the Leven telephone exchange has been received, either from the municipal authorities or from the residents of Buckhaven and Methil; nor has any application been made for the transfer of the telephone line from the Leven to the Buckhaven exchange. Such a transfer could be arranged if desired, and I am making further inquiries to see whether it could be carried out without charge; I will write to the hon. Member on this point as soon as possible.
