§ Mr. John Wellsasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the average length of time it takes for annunciators in the House to be repaired or replaced.
§ Sir George YoungOver 90 per cent. of faulty annunciators are normally repaired or replaced within 24 hours of the fault being reported. In recent weeks, however, the availability of sets has been so limited that replacement has taken up to five days. The normal standard of service should be restored this week when a batch of new annunciators, ordered last year for delivery in January, is expected to be available.
