§ Mr. Patrick Maitlandasked the Postmaster-General how far away is the nearest public telephone kiosk to Stewart Street, Carluke, in the county of Lanark; and whether he will provide a kiosk in Stewart Street.
§ Mr. MarplesThere is a kiosk in Mount Stewart Street about 30 yards from the southern end of Stewart Street, a call office in the post office which is 150 yards away, and another kiosk in Sandy 171W Road just over 100 yards from another part of Stewart Street. With so many other calls on our limited capital resources, I would not feel justified in providing another kiosk in Stewart Street itself.
§ Mr. Patrick Maitlandasked the Postmaster-General how many public telephone kiosks are now installed at East Kilbride; and how many he proposes to instal.
§ Mr. MarplesTwenty-eight kiosks are now installed. These appear to be sufficient for present needs, but others will be provided as the town grows.
