HC Deb 05 May 1948 vol 450 c1258
35. Mr. Janner

asked the Postmaster-General what arrangements are being made for telephone kiosks on the new Parks housing estate, Leicester.

Mr. Wilfred Paling

A telephone kiosk was brought into service on 8th April in the Parks Housing Estate, Leicester. Two more kiosks will be provided, but it may be some time before they can be installed as there are no further spare wires at present in the cables serving the locality.

Mr. Janner

In view of the fact that this is a very large area, and that there have been some incidents of fires in that area, will my right hon. Friend see that these kiosks are installed as rapidly as possible?

Mr. Paling

As I have indicated, it is a question of laying more cables. When the cables are laid the kiosks can be put up immediately.
