§ Dame Irene Wardasked the Postmaster-General how much additional finance is being allocated to the northern region for telephone services for 1967–68 to make up the deficiency required to give this region equality with other regions.
§ Mr. Edward ShortFigures for the Northern Region are not available, but for the Post Office North Eastern Region we estimate that the rise in investment in inland telecommunications plant in 1967–68 will be about 23 per cent. compared to about 20 per cent. for the country as a whole.
