Telephone Exchange, Kirkby Stephen

HC Deb 02 December 1947 vol 445 cc57-8W

Mr. Vane

asked the Postmaster-General when he anticipates that improvements to the telephone exchange at Kirkby Stephen will be carried out in order that additional subscribers can be connected.

Mr. Wilfred Paling

Connection of additional subscribers at Kirkby Stephen depends on the completion of a new exchange. The site is ready and tenders for the building have been invited, but I regret that it is not possible at present to indicate when the new exchange will be available for service.
