HC Deb 17 July 1946 vol 425 cc232-3W
166. Mr. Erroll

asked the Assistant Postmaster-General how many new subscribers are connected to the Sale telephone exchange each week; and how many subscribers relinquish their lines each week.

Mr. Burke

The number of new subscribers connected to the Sale Exchange each week is six. The number of subscribers who give up service from that exchange averages three each week.

167. Mr. Erroll

asked the Assistant Postmaster-General what progress is being made in the provision of an extension to the Sale telephone exchange; and when does he expect that it will be completed.

Mr. Burke

The installation of additional equipment has been begun and is expected to be completed by the end of this year. Plans for an extension of the building and for the installation of further equipment are in hand, but in view of the building situation this work is not likely to be completed before the end of 1948.
