HC Deb 21 May 1952 vol 501 cc467-8
39. Major Anstruther-Gray

asked the Assistant Postmaster-General how many applications for telephones are pending in East Lothian; and how long it will take before these telephones are provided.

Mr. Gammans

Two hundred and nineteen applications were outstanding on 31st March, 1952, excluding 59 in course of being met or under inquiry. Additional plant will be brought into service this year and next, but I cannot say when all outstanding applications will be met.

Major Anstruther-Gray

Will my hon. Friend give an idea of the average delay in the installation of non-priority telephones?

Mr. Gammans

If my hon. and gallant Friend will put a Question on the Order Paper I will certainly give him an answer.
