§ Mr. BevinsTrunk calls made by Solihull exchange subscribers are dealt with at the Midland switchboard in Birmingham. The latest figures for the average waiting time at that switchboard were 10.3 seconds by day and 11.3 by night. The corresponding figures for 1954 were 12.6 and 12.0. I am trying to improve matters.
