Lieut.-Colonel HENEAGE
asked the Postmaster-General whether he proposes to instal telephones in Claxby, Normanby-le-Wold, Donington-on-Bain, and Thorganby?
Mr. LEES-SMITH
Telephone call offices will be provided at Donington-on-Bain (when the automatic exchange at Stenigot is opened) and at Thorganby. In the case of Claxby, an annual loss of about £13 10s. would be involved and a guarantee at the rate of £3 10s. a year for seven years would be required. There is no post office at Normanby-le-Wold, which is only mile distant from Claxby, and a. public telephone at the latter place should meet the needs of both villages.
