§ 57. Mr. Gammansasked the Postmaster-General to what extent the cuts in capital expenditure will retard the conversion of the Tudor telephone exchange; and if he can give any approximate date when the conversion is likely to take place.
§ Mr. Wilfred PalingI regret that I cannot say when Tudor exchange will be converted. The urgent need for exports and the restrictions on capital expenditure have necessitated a general deferment in the supply of equipment for new automatic exchanges.
