HC Deb 06 August 1947 vol 441 c1452
38. Mr. Malcolm MacMillan

asked the Postmaster-General if he will now state when it is intended to begin the work of laying the cable and providing Scarp Island with telephone and telegraph services.

Mr. Wilfred Paling

It is hoped to lay the cable to Scarp this month, and to provide telephone and telegraph service on the island by the end of September.

Mr. MacMillan

Is the Minister aware that everybody in that area, including the S.C.W.S. manager, will be very gratified?
