asked the Postmaster-General whether he will take urgent action in regard to the telephone exchange at Llanuwchllyn, Merioneth, in order that more telephones can be provided for persons who are in great need of them.

Arrangements are in hand to instal a larger switchboard at Llanuwchllyn, but owing to extreme pressure of work in the North Wales and Chester areas I regret that it will be some time before the work can be completed.
