HC Deb 21 December 1965 vol 722 c418W
Mr. Will Owen

asked the Postmaster-General how many citizens were waiting for a telephone service in the borough of Morpeth at the nearest convenient date; and what action is being taken to meet this need.

Mr. Benn

Excluding orders in hand or under inquiry, 40 applicants were waiting for service in the borough of Morpeth at 30th November, 1965. The exchange is being extended and I hope that all those now waiting will have service by the spring.
