HC Deb 17 March 1948 vol 448 c250W
Mr. Sharp

asked the Postmaster-General how many outstanding applications for the installation of a telephone at Kirkheaton, near Huddersfield, were made prior to 1944; and when Mr. A. Bielby, Kirklands, Cemetery Road, Kirkheaton, will have installed the telephone for which he applied in 1943.

Mr. Wilfred Paling

Three applications for telephones at Kirkheaton have been outstanding since 1944, owing to lack of spare wires in the underground cables. One of the applicants, who applied before Mr. Beilby, is now being provided with service on a shared basis, and I am hopeful that similar arrangements can be made for Mr. Beilby.
