§ 34. Sir D. Walker-Smithasked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that the delay in installing equipment at the Bishop's Stortford Telephone Exchange is causing inconvenience to those waiting for telephone service in the Bishop's Stortford area; and if he will take steps to accelerate the provision of this equipment.
§ Mr. Joseph SlaterI am sorry for the delay. We have already asked the contractors to give high priority to completing the installation of the new equipment, and I hope it will be possible to give service in the summer to all the people waiting.
