§ 92. Mr. Gowerasked the Assistant Postmaster-General why only 120 applicants for telephones in the borough of Barry were connected during the past year; why such poor progress was made in reducing the list of outstanding applications; and what steps will be taken to increase progress during the coming year.
§ Mr. GammansWe are connecting up telephones as fast as we can, and I am satisfied that Barry is having a fair share of our limited resources. As regards the last part of the Question, I would refer my hon. Friend to my reply of 9th December, 1953.
