HC Deb 25 May 1965 vol 713 c50W
57. Sir W. Anstruther-Gray

asked the Postmaster-General how many applications for telephones are outstanding in East Lothian; and what is the average delay before applicants are satisfied.

Mr. Joseph Slater

Twelve, all of which will be met within a month when additional cables have been provided. In addition, there are 72 orders in course of completion; in these cases, the average time to give service is three weeks except when completion is held up to meet the convenience of the applicants.
