HC Deb 26 June 1951 vol 489 c137W
Major Hicks-Beach

asked the Postmaster-General what is the average time an applicant for a telephone in the Cheltenham area has to wait before his order is fulfilled.

Mr. Ness Edwards

Service is provided in a few weeks in priority cases where plant is available; no estimate can be made of the average time for completion where new plant has to be provided.
