§ 66. Sir B. Jannerasked the Post master-General whether he is aware that there are only three telephone junctions at the Malden Exchange and that this 34W causes delay in this fast growing area for subscribers who dial numbers; and when he will install further junctions on that exchange.
§ Mr. BevinsThe number of junctions at the Maiden Exchange far exceeds three. There are in fact over 800, giving outlets to and from the London telephone system and the trunk services. I am not aware of difficulty in dialling calls to or from Malden, but if the hon. Member has any particular trouble in mind and will give me details I will gladly make inquiries.
