HC Deb 15 February 1955 vol 537 c46W
Mr. Patrick Maitland

asked the Assistant Postmaster-General how many of the 400,000 telephone lines connected to subscribers in the United Kingdom in the last 12 months were connected to subscribers in Scotland; and how many of the 350,000 in the previous year.

Mr. Gammans

Thirty-three thousand telephones were installed in Scotland last year as compared with 28,000 in the previous year, an increase of 18 per cent. We plan to step up the supply this year to over 38,000.
