HC Deb 24 January 1951 vol 483 c132
25. Wing Commander Bullus

asked the Postmaster-General how many applicants in the Borough of Wembley await the installation of telephones; and when they are likely to have this service.

Mr. Ness Edwards

One thousand six hundred and forty in the areas served by the Wembley, Corinthian and Arnold exchanges. Most of these applications will be met after the new exchange equipment is brought into service in about four months' time.

Mr. Harrison

Will my right hon. Friend, irrespective of the continuous pressure for telephone equipment in this country, do everything he possibly can to keep open our export market for this telephone equipment, upon which we depend so much?
