§ 17. Mr. G. R. Howardasked the Assistant Postmaster-General how many applications for new telephone receivers 19 were unsatisfied in the years 1951, 1952 and 1953, respectively, in West Cornwall.
§ Mr. GammansThe numbers are: 1,841, 2,095 and 1,614.
§ Mr. HowardCan my hon. Friend give some assurance that he will use his best endeavours to cut down this very formidable waiting list, especially for those engaged in agriculture in West Cornwall?
§ Mr. GammansI wish it were possible to cut it out altogether. It entirely depends on the percentage of the national resources which can be allotted for purposes of this sort.
