§ Mr. WHELERasked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that the installation of the telephone at Eastchurch, Isle of Sheppey, has not yet been carried out; and whether, as the delay is causing inconvenience, he can arrange for the work to be completed at. an early date?
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELI hope that it will be possible to begin work on the Eastchurch Exchange in a fortnight. The work will then take about six weeks to complete. I regret that in consequence of the abnormal amount of new construction work now in hand the extension cannot be carried out sooner.
