HC Deb 22 January 1963 vol 670 c11
6. Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the Postmaster-General what reduction has been made in the last year in the waiting list for telephones in the Chigwell urban district and Epping and Ongar rural district of Essex.

Mr. Bevins

During 1962 the waiting list in these areas has been reduced by 16 to 100. In that year, 1,903 telephones were installed.

Mr. Biggs-Davison

Is my right hon. Friend aware that what he has done and what he will do—I hope—to reduce this waiting list will be widely welcomed in my constituency?

Mr. Bevins

We are putting new exchange and other equipment in my hon. Friend's constituency all the time.
