HC Deb 18 December 1957 vol 580 cc403-4
32. Mr. J. Johnson

asked the Postmaster-General if he will take steps to have a telephone kiosk erected in the new council housing estate at Long Law-ford.

Mr. Marples

I would like to do this but cannot promise to provide a new kiosk quickly, because we have to lay new cables as well. The existing kiosk at Long Lawford is within half a mile of the estate.

Mr. Johnson

Is not the right hon. Gentleman aware that Messrs. Wimpey who built on the site, and who are now shortly leaving this local housing estate, had a telephone installed at their office? Could he use that cable for a new kiosk on the estate?

Mr. Marples

I am told that that will not be free until the end of 1958, and we will consider it then.
