HC Deb 27 July 1949 vol 467 cc128-9W
13. Mr. Hale

asked the Postmaster-General when Messrs. Happitime Products, Limited, of 286, Rochdale Road, Oldham, may expect the installation of the telephone for which they have been waiting for some years.

Mr. Wilfred Paling

I regret that the cable serving the locality of 286, Rochdale Road is in full use and that all our attempts to persuade nearby subscribers to share a line with the firm have failed. Provision of service for Messrs. Happitime Products, Limited, is therefore dependent on the laying of new cables to their district and in view of the heavy pressure of similar work elsewhere it will be some considerable time before these cables can be provided.
