HC Deb 26 October 1967 vol 751 c527W
Mr. Dance

asked the Postmaster-General how many applicants were waiting for telephone service in the Sunbury-on-Thames area in July of this year; and what degree of priority was given to the application by Mr. Tom Jones.

Mr. Edward Short

321 at 31st July. Business users are generally given priority over residential applications, and Mr. Tom Jones' application was given business priority under the normal rules. We were able to give him service quickly because there was already a telephone in the house.
