HC Deb 07 May 1963 vol 677 c31W
46. Sir M. Lindsay

asked the Postmaster-General how many householders are on the waiting list for telephones in the Borough of Solihull; and how many new telephones have been provided in the last ten years.

Mr. Bevins

There are 497 applications for telephones on the waiting list for the six exchanges serving the Borough of Solihull: a further 634 are under inquiry or being met. Most of these are householders' applications but the precise figure is not readily available.

More than 20,000 new telephones have been provided in the last ten years.
