Major MURRAYasked the Postmaster-General whether he will now cause a telephone service to be established in the village of Moniaive, Dumfriesshire?
§ Mr. ILLINGWORTHWhen inquiry was made in 1914, sufficient support was not forthcoming to justify an extension of the telephone system to Moniaive. In any case it would involve a considerable amount of construction, which could not be undertaken at present in view of the heavy programme of more urgent works which the Post Office engineers have in hand. Further inquiries will be made when conditions become favourable.
