HC Deb 30 November 1967 vol 755 c153W
Mr. Crowder

asked the Postmaster-General what steps he has taken since November, 1964, to improve the telephone service in Ruislip-Northwood.

Mr. Joseph Slater

Additional exchange equipment, switchboards and cables have been provided to meet the demands for telephone service in this rapidly growing area. Extensive building work to make room for extra equipment has unavoidably affected operator service in the Ruislip area over the past twelve months but is now nearly completed.

Special measures are being taken to give service early in the New Year to people in Ruislip who are waiting; additional equipment in Northwood exchange is expected to be in use late in 1968.

If the hon. Member has any specific difficulty in mind, I will gladly look into it.
