HC Deb 07 July 1964 vol 698 c192
2. Commander Donaldson

asked the Postmaster-General how many Telex instruments have been installed in Roxburgh, Selkirk and Peebleshire since 1959; and how many applications are now awaiting installation.

Mr. Mawby

Nine have been installed and there are no outstanding applications.

Commander Donaldson

My hon. Friend must be aware of the value of these Telex instruments. Is he making clear, and is there any advertising which puts before the public, especially the mills in my constituency, the value of these machines, and if not, will he see that some publicity is given to them?

Mr. Mawby

Yes, we do a considerable amount of publicity. In fact, there are now so many of these machines in use that they are publicising themselves and people who see them in operation are very quick to purchase them.
