HC Deb 10 March 1954 vol 524 cc149-50W
23. Mr. Gough

asked the Assistant Postmaster-General how many telephones have been installed in Crawley during the past 12 months; and what is now the waiting list for the new town.

Mr. Gammans

Three hundred and twelve new lines have been connected in the past 12 months. One hundred and ninety-nine applications are outstanding, including 120 in course of being met or under inquiry.

24. Mr. Gough

asked the Assistant Postmaster-General how many public telephone boxes have been planned for Crawley New Town; how many have been erected and are in use; and how long it is anticipated it will be before the programme is completed.

Mr. Gammans

Thirty-one kiosks are planned for those parts of the New Town which have been completed or are at present being developed; 18 are already in use, and I expect that the balance will be installed early next year.

Forward to
