HC Deb 08 December 1965 vol 722 cc103-4W
63. Mr. Atkins

asked the Postmaster-General how many applicants are on the waiting list for connection to the Mitcham telephone exchange; hat was the comparable figure a year ago; what is the delay in making a residential connection; and when he expects to satisfy the demand.

Mr. Benn

322 applicants are waiting for residential service from Mitcham exchange; there was none a year ago. I am sorry that we shall not be able to provide connections for about 12 months.
