§ 13. Mr. Biggs-Davisonasked the Postmaster-General whether, having regard to his latest plans for the improvement of the telephone service, he will now hasten the introduction of automatic dialling for the Hainault and Loughton exchanges.
§ The Assistant Postmaster-General (Mr. Ray Mawby)Automatic equipment, with provision for S.T.D., for new exchange sat Hainault and Loughton is now being manufactured. Both exchanges should be ready for service by about the middle of 1965; if we can improve on that timetable, we will.
§ Mr. Biggs-DavisonIn view of the very ambitious programme of Post Office development which my right hon. Friend has announced to the House, will everything possible be done further to speed up this very modest improvement which would be most beneficial to the business and social life of my constituency?
