HC Deb 13 February 1939 vol 343 c1386W
Mr. Malcolm MacMillan

asked the Postmaster-General whether he will make a statement regarding postal and telephone service in the Island of Scarp, Harris; and whether he has any proposals for improvement, especially regarding telephone facilities?

Sir W. Womersley

The postal delivery and collection services in the Island of Scarp, as in the Island of Harris, are provided on four days a week from June to August and on three days a week during the remainder of the year. There is a sub post office on the island. I think that the present facilities are adequate. As regards telephone service, I would refer the hon. Member to the reply which I gave him on 20th June, 1938.
