HC Deb 19 June 1990 vol 174 c495W
Dr. Marek

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what information he has on how many telephones were disconnected for non-payment in each of the last five years on the Falkland Islands.

Mr. Waldegrave

I am told that records go back only as far as October 1989 when the new telephone network came into operation. Thirty telephones were cut off in that month. The number fell sharply in ensuing months and in May only two were cut off.
