HC Deb 29 June 1962 vol 661 cc176-7W
Mr. W. R. Williams

asked the Postmaster-General how many applications from potential business subscribers were placed on the telephone waiting list during 1961; how many potential business subscribers were on the waiting list as at 1st June, 1962; and what percentage of these have been waiting for under three months, under six months, under 12 months, under two years, and two years or more respectively.

Mr. Bevins

Regular records giving this information are not maintained; I do not think that a special inquiry to obtain it would be justified, especially as the composition of the waiting list is constantly changing and business applications are given priority.
