HC Deb 17 December 1948 vol 459 c227W
Mr. J. P. L. Thomas

asked the Postmaster-General whether in view of the long delay in establishing a telephone exchange in the village of Longtown, Herefordshire, he will treat the matter as one of urgency owing to the isolated nature of the parish.

Mr. Wilfred Paling

Arrangements are in hand to provide a new exchange at Longtown, but there is, unfortunately, delay in acquiring a site. The community is at present served by a public kiosk outside the Post Office.
