§ Mr. R. Gibsonasked the Postmaster-General what are the obstacles preventing an immediate call for tenders for the building of the proposed automatic telephone exchange in Market Street, Greenock; and whether the Works Department, Edinburgh, are contemplating themselves making the erection without calling for tenders?
§ Sir W. WomersleyAs I informed the hon. and learned Member on 6th February, plans and quantities have yet to be determined. I am satisfied that the building will be ready by the time the automatic plant is available for installation. The answer to the latter part of the hon. Member's question is in the negative.
