§ 32. Mr. Hockingasked the Postmaster-General how many would-be subscribers are on the waiting list for telephones in the Coventry area; and how many have been on the waiting list for more than six months.
§ Mr. BevinsAt the beginning of the year there were 130 people on the waiting list for telephones in the Coventry area; 43 had been waiting more than six months. In addition there were 512 applications for telephones under inquiry or being met.
§ Mr. HockingCan my right hon. Friend say when it is likely that the waiting list in the Coventry area will be reduced? It has been at this tremendously high figure for some considerable time.
§ Mr. BevinsIn fact the telephone waiting list was 240 in June last year and at the end of last year it had fallen to 130, and is still falling.
