HC Deb 17 March 1964 vol 691 c164W
Mr. Snow

asked the Postmaster-General how many applications for telephone connections are oustanding at the latest convenient date on the Burntwood Telephone Exchange, Staffs.; and of these how many have been waiting 12 months or more.

Mr. Bevins

86 applications for telephones are now outstanding on Burntwood exchange and, in addition, 67 are under enquiry or in course of being met. Five applications have been waiting 12 months or more; three of these will be met by the end of this month and the remaining two when the houses for which they are ordered have been built.

Most of the remaining applications are for service on new housing estates and these will be met as cabling progresses in step with the completion of roads and footpaths.

Mr. Snow

asked the Postmaster-General when a telephone will be installed on behalf of Mr. B. N. W. Wood, at Burntwood, near Lichfield, Staffs., details of which have been sent to him by the hon. Member for Lichfield and Tamworth.

Mr. Bevins

By the end of this month.
