Brigadier Clarkeasked the Assistant Postmaster-General why it has taken nearly a year to install a teleprinter service from Portsmouth to London; and whether he can sped up such installation in view of industrial needs.
§ Mr. GammansThis service, which I understand to be a private teleprinter link required by an individual firm, was provided on 16th February. I regret the delay, but certain essential components have been very scarce as the result of greatly increased requirements for defence purposes.
