HC Deb 29 May 1957 vol 571 c36W
79. Mr. Gower

asked the Postmaster-General how many persons in the Borough of Barry have been waiting for domestic and business telephones for more than one year since the date of their first application; and when he expects to meet all applications now outstanding.

Mr. K. Thompson

Forty-nine applications have been outstanding for more than 12 months. Five of these are for business telephones. New cables will be laid during the present financial year and I hope that the majority of the present applications will be met within the next twelve months.
