HC Deb 18 May 1966 vol 728 c1313
24. Mr. Spriggs

asked the Postmaster-General what progress has been made with the development of a British electronic telephone exchange.

Mr. Benn

The Post Office and the British manufacturers have recently brought to commercial production an electronic exchange for up to 2,000 lines, and all appropriate orders are now being placed in this design. Good progress is being made with a design for large exchanges.
