§ Mr. Snowasked the Postmaster-General for what reasons a telephone connection for Mr. G. I. A. Taylor of Kings Bromley, Staffordshire, has so far not been provided, bearing in mind that extra lines at the Yoxall Telephone Exchange should have been provided since this exchange is situated in an overspill receiving area; and whether he is aware that Mr. Taylor holds an executive position in a company where there is an accepted industrial fire risk involving his attendance in emergencies.
§ Mr. BevinsThe telephone ordered by Mr. Taylor is on a developing housing estate where new cables have to be provided as development proceeds. I am sorry that it was not possible to have the telephone ready for Mr. Taylor when he moved in last month, but he will have service by the end of July.
