§ 95. Mr. Edelmanasked the Postmaster-General to what extent the telephone switchboard capacity for residential lines in Coventry will be reduced during the next three years in order to satisfy the demands for business lines.
§ Mr. Wilfred PalingThe exchange capacity at Coventry will be increased by about 650 lines this year and a further 1,800 by the end of 1950. These extensions will be available to meet business demands, and I regret that I am unable to say to what extent it will be necessary in addition to use equipment thrown spare by residential subscribers giving up service.
