§ 30. Mr. J. Johnsonasked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that the telephone exchange at Rugby is inadequate for the needs of the borough; and what steps he is taking in the matter.
Dr. HillYes, Sir. But during the next nine months the exchange will be enlarged to the maximum extent possible in the present accommodation and this will cater for all applicants at present waiting for exchange equipment. We are planning a considerable enlargement of the building but this will take several years to complete.
§ Mr. JohnsonMay I thank the Minister on behalf of many long-suffering constituents? Can he tell us when he hopes to finish this job?
Dr. HillIt is hoped to complete the extension which deals with the current waiting list by January of next year.
