HC Deb 05 July 1950 vol 477 c34W
Mr. G. Roberts

asked the Postmaster-General what progress is being made in providing adequate telephone exchange facilities in Caernarvon and Llanberis, Caernarvonshire.

Mr. Ness Edwards

A new automatic exchange is needed at Caernarvon to replace the present manual exchange, which is overloaded and cannot be extended. Its provision has been delayed by the impossibility, so far, of obtaining a new site. I am examining urgently the practicability of further relief measures to help in this difficult situation. At Llanberis, a new automatic exchange is planned for next year.
