HC Deb 08 March 1961 vol 636 cc52-3W
Mr. Gower

asked the Postmaster-General how many new telephone kiosks were installed in Wales and in Glamorgan, respectively, during the past twelve months; and how many will be installed during the next year.

Mr. Bevins

127 and 30 respectively in 1960. The first figure relates to Wales and the Border Counties, as information for Wales alone is not available. I expect the numbers for 1961 to be about the same.

Mr. Gower

asked the Postmaster-General what increase he proposes during the next three years in the provision of telephones to business subscribers in Wales to meet the expanding industrial and commercial needs of the Principality.

Mr. Bevins

Separate figures for Wales are not readily available, but for Wales and the Border Counties I expect to provide about 34,000 telephones for business subscribers during the next three years. This compares with 27,000 during the last three years.
