HC Deb 27 February 1969 vol 778 cc334-5W
47. Mr. Goodhart

asked the Postmaster-General what action he is taking to halt the deterioration in the telephone service in the Beckenham and Penge areas.

Mr. Storehouse

Much of the telephone plant in this area is now being replaced. The new equipment will be commissioned starting next month and thereafter the service should progressively improve.
