HC Deb 02 March 1965 vol 707 c212W
69. Mr. Wall

asked the Postmaster-General to what degree London telephone exchanges are under-manned.

Mr. Joseph Slater

The inland telephone operating staff in the London Telecommunications Regions is about 4 per cent. below the authorised complement. Sufficient recruits are now in training to fill about half the current vacancies. The present vigorous recruiting campaign will continue.
