HC Deb 21 March 1968 vol 761 c137W
62. Sir C. Osborne

asked the Postmaster-General how far in time are the 80 per cent. of telephone equipment orders running behind their delivery schedules.

Mr. Joseph Slater

About six months on average. We hope, however, that the manufacturers' increased capacity and improved methods of production control will result in deliveries starting to improve by the autumn.
