§ 19. Mr. R. E. Winterbottomasked the Assistant Postmaster-General the total number of telephones installed during the 12 months ended 30th September, 1951; and to what extent it is intended to maintain this rate of installation.
§ Mr. GammansThree hundred and forty-four thousand one hundred and ninety. My noble Friend intends to maintain as high a rate of installation as our resources and the requirements of the defence programme will allow.
§ Mr. Hector HughesDo the figures the Minister has just given include Scotland, and will he give the figures of Scotland 963 separately? Is he aware that further installations are badly needed in north-east Scotland, and would he say what he intends to do to increase them?
§ Mr. GammansThe figures do include Scotland. If the hon. and learned Gentleman would like to know what the figures for Scotland are, perhaps he will put down a Question.
