HC Deb 11 May 1966 vol 728 c73W
66. Mr. Oakes

asked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware of the difficulty which subscribers in the Bolton area experience in obtaining subscriber trunk dialling numbers outside that exchange during business hours; and whether he will increase the number of lines to that exchange in the near future.

Mr. Benn

Subscriber trunk dialling traffic from Bolton has increased considerably and this led to some overloading. Additional circuits have been provided and the service should now be satisfactory.
