HC Deb 12 March 1919 vol 113 cc1318-9W
Mr. ROYCE

asked the Postmaster-General whether he is now in a position to reply to the resolution unanimously passed by the residents of the town and district of Crowland, Lincolnshire, on 27th January, 1919; whether he is now able to fulfil his pre-war promise to instal telephonic communications with that town and district; and, if so, to state an approximate date when the work will be put in hand?

Mr. ILLINGWORTH

Pending inquiries which are in progress, I regret I am not yet in a position to reply definitely to the resolution to which the hon. Member refers; but I hope it may, at least, be possible to provide a telephone call office at Crowland at no distant date.
