HC Deb 11 May 1965 vol 712 cc43-4W
69. Sir R. Thompson

asked the Postmaster-General if he is aware of the continuing frustrations and delays experi- enced by the subscribers, mostly business and professional, linked to the Municipal exchange; and what steps he is taking to provide an adequate service.

Mr. Joseph Slater

I am sorry for these continuing difficulties. To improve the service 110 additional circuits have been provided since last November and a further 29 will be added shortly. A large new cable to Central London should be brought into service in July.
