§ Lieut. - Colonel Bromley - Davenportasked the Postmaster-General if he is aware of the disappointment of many residents in the Hale Barns, Ringway, Wilmslow and other districts of Cheshire at the delay in supplying an adequate telephone service; and, in view of the hardship caused especially to aged people, by what date an adequate telephone service will be available.
§ Mr. MarplesYes. Unfortunately, we cannot provide service for people on the waiting list until new cables are available. These are being provided, but the pace depends on the financial resources available, and I cannot say when all the outstanding applications will be met.
