HC Deb 16 July 1946 vol 425 c189W
119. Mr. G. Williams

asked the Assistant Postmaster-General if he is aware that some Army authorities are unwilling to derequisition properties wanted by their owners when there are other places available, owing to the fact that they cannot get telephones in the new places; and if he will grant priority for telephone removals in such cases

Mr. Burke

I am not aware of any such cases, although it is possible that some have occurred owing to the extreme pressure of work in providing telephone services throughout the country. If the hon. Member will give me details of any such cases I shall be happy to pursue them with my right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for War.
