HC Deb 23 February 1955 vol 537 c161W
75. Lieut.-Colonel Lockwood

asked the Assistant Postmaster-General how many applicants received the telephone service in the borough of Romford during 1954; and how many applications are now outstanding.

Mr. Gammans

Five hundred and seventy seven telephones were connected last year and 2,153 applications are at present outstanding. We hope that in 1955 the rate of connection will be nearly trebled as compared with 1954.
