HC Deb 10 March 1961 vol 636 c71W
Mr. Chataway

asked the Postmaster-Genera/ whether he proposes to undertake cabling work in the area of Bridge Street, Westminster; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Bevins

Additional telephone cables are required across Westminster Bridge to provide for building developments on the South Bank. To accommodate these cables, additional ducts and manholes are needed between Westminster Bridge and York Road. Every effort will be made to keep inconvenience to a minimum. The work, which is urgent, will take about six to eight weeks in Bridge Street and about four months on Westminster Bridge.
