§ Sir Knox Cunninghamasked the Postmaster-General how many applications for telephones are outstanding in each of the respective telephone exchanges in the Parliamentary constituency of Antrim, South; and what is the average time taken to meet the demand for the installation of a telephone in each such respective area.
§ Mr. MawbyI am glad to say that, leaving aside applications under inquiry or being met, there is at present only one application on the waiting list; it is for service on Carrickfergus exchange, and service will be given within a few weeks. For all other applications, service can generally be given within 3 weeks, unless special construction work is required.
