§ 29. Mr. Gibsonasked the Assistant Postmaster-General how many applications for the installation of telephones are outstanding in the area covered by the Tulse Hill Exchange; what is the length of time these have been waiting; and when he anticipates these will be dealt with.
§ Mr. GammansSix hundred and fifty-six applications were outstanding at 30th September, 1953, of which 381 were received within the last 18 months. The waiting list has been reduced by 14040W during the past year, but I regret that I cannot say when all outstanding applications will be met.
