HC Deb 08 May 1969 vol 783 c112W
33. Mr. Dodds-Parker

asked the Postmaster-General how many would-be telephone subscribers were waiting to be connected to the Cheltenham exchange on 15th April; how many had been waiting for 12 month or more; when he expects to provide those individuals with telephone service; and what is the longest period any individual has been waiting.

Mr. Joseph Slater

1,086—150 for more than 12 months. The longest waiting period is two years. 1,050 will have service by the end of the month. Most of the remainder are on new estates where cables will be laid as site conditions permit. All will be connected this year.
