HC Deb 21 April 1920 vol 128 cc427-8W
Lieut.-Colonel FREMANTLE

asked the Postmaster-General when a telephone ex- change will be supplied at Bayford, near Hertford; and whether this matter has now been under consideration by the Post Office authorities for many months, to the great inconvenience of the locality?

Mr. ILLINGWORTH

I regret that I am not yet in a position to say when a telephone exchange can be provided at Bayford. The canvass for subscribers and preparation of estimates has unavoidably occupied a considerable time, but I hope to receive the final estimates shortly and will then arrange precise terms to be quoted to the applicants.
