§ 7. Sir W. Anstruther-Grayasked the Postmaster-General when he will install a telephone connection to Crauchie Farm, North Berwick; how long ago this connection was first applied for; and how many other applications have been outstanding for so long a period.
§ Mr. K. ThompsonCrauchie Farm already has telephone service, but there is an application outstanding for the replacement of the exchange line by an external extension. Much additional work is involved in arranging this but I hope that it will be completed in about two months' time. This extension was applied for in March of last year. The telephone manager has 22 other orders in his area which are of longer standing
§ Sir W. Anstruther-GrayMy constituent who owns this farm has felt a sense of grievance at the way in which he has been treated. I think he will be very glad to hear that my hon. Friend gives a firm undertaking that within two months the installation will be made.
§ Mr. ThompsonI hope that we shall have no occasion to disappoint my hon. and gallant Friend's constituent any more.
