§ Mr. Gowerasked the Postmaster-General if he will state the number of outstanding applications for telephones in the Borough of Barry at the latest convenient date; how many of these have been outstanding for one and two years, respectively; and when he anticipates these applications will be satisfied.
§ Mr. K. ThompsonOn 1st January, 105 applications were outstanding, of which 40 were in course of being met. Fifteen had been waiting over two years and a further 13 over one year. We need to provide new cables in parts of the town before we can satisfy all the applications. One such scheme is in hand now, which will enable about half the existing applications to be met.
