§ Mr. Braineasked the Postmaster-General whether, in view of the fact that lack of adequate telephone cable facilities in the Canewdon area is causing serious inconvenience to subscribers, including inability to make emergency calls, he will make the necessary arrangements to speed the installation of a new cable.
§ Mr. Joseph SlaterI am sorry that circuit shortages between Canewdon and Southend have sometimes caused difficulty in the completion of calls. Two additional circuits were provided on 22nd January, and a new cable is to be installed as quickly as possible. It should be ready for service in the autumn of this year.
