HC Deb 23 July 1964 vol 699 cc151-2W
Mr. Bryan

asked the Postmaster-General how many private houses in the East Riding of Yorkshire were connected with telephones in the years 1951 and 1964, respectively.

Mr. Mawby

In March, 1951, there were 8,377 telephones connected to the exchanges serving the East Riding of Yorkshire (excluding those within the Hull Corporation Area). I am sorry it is no longer possible to say how many of these were in private houses. The comparable figure now is 14,422, of which 7,156 are in private houses.
