§ Mr. Cooperasked the Postmaster-General the number of unsatisfied applications for telephones in the borough of Ilford; and when he hopes to provide the facilities required.
§ Mr. Marples:About 880. I cannot yet say when all the present applications will be met, but new cables are being provided and additional exchange capacity will be available at the end of the year. A start has been made with the construction of a new telephone exchange in Woodford Avenue.
