§ Mr. Patrick Maitlandasked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware of the record of fatal road accidents near Hart-hope Viaduct on the Glasgow—Carlisle road, after one of which it took a considerable time to make a telephone call for medical assistance; and whether he will provide a public kiosk nearby.
Dr. HillI am aware that there has been a number of road accidents in this neighbourhood. If as I hope a suitable site can be obtained, I propose to have installed a kiosk near the Viaduct.
§ Mr. Patrick Maitlandasked the Postmaster-General where is the public telephone kiosk nearest to Harthope Viaduct on the Glasgow-Carlisle road; and how far away it is.
