HC Deb 02 February 1965 vol 705 c270W
79. Mr. Allason

asked the Postmaster-General what is the reason for the two months' delay in the opening of the new automatic telephone exchange at Boxmoor, compared with the target date of April, 1965, forecast by his predecessor.

Mr. Joseph Slater

When the forecast was made almost three years ago it was not possible to be more precise than that the exchange could not be opened before April, 1965. We now propose to convert the exchange to automatic working in June.
