HC Deb 20 February 1930 vol 235 c1613W
Mr. KELLY

asked the Postmaster-General what is the conclusion arrived at on the consideration of laying a new cable between this country, Jersey, and the Channel Isles?

Mr. LEES-SMITH

Negotiations with the island telephone authorities for the opening of public telephone service between Guernsey, Jersey and the mainland are now practically completed. An existing cable will be used, but its diversion and lengthening, together with extensive work on the land connections, is necessary.
