§ Mr. G. Williamsasked the Assistant Postmaster-General how many people in Tunbridge Wells are waiting for the installation of telephones; and how many have, been supplied in the last three months.
§ Mr. BurkeThe number of applicants waiting for telephone service from Tunbridge Wells exchange is 491. The exchange equipment at Tunbridge Wells is now practically all used up, and it is therefore possible to meet demands only to the extent that existing subscribers give up their service from that exchange. As a consequence, only eight new subscribers have been connected to the exchange in the last three months. Arrangements have been made for a relief exchange to be opened and it is hoped that this exchange will be ready for service in the early part of 1947.
