HC Deb 14 March 1956 vol 550 c363
18. Mr. Gower

asked the Postmaster-General how many telephone exchanges in Wales are full and incapable of extension; and what number of new telephone exchanges are to be built in Wales during 1956.

Mr. Alport

About eighty, including exchanges where only priority applications can be accepted. We expect to complete fifty-eight new exchanges in 1956, as against twenty-seven last year. A further fifty-seven exchanges are due to be started during 1956.
