§ Sir Anthony Meyerasked the Postmaster-General if he is aware that the delay for the installation of telephones on the Slough Exchange is in excess of 12 months; and what action he proposes to take to reduce this delay.
§ Mr. Joseph SlaterI am aware that recent applicants for telephone services on the Slough (Langley) Exchange have been informed that delay in installation may be in excess of 12 months due to shortage of exchange equipment. This delay will now be reduced by the provision of some additional equipment which will be installed by August this year.
