Mr. Steward
asked the Assistant Postmaster-General how many applicants were on the waiting list for telephones in the Woolwich Borough area 12 months ago; how many applications are still outstanding; and for how long, on average, those applicants have been waiting for telephones.
Mr. Gammans
Two thousand six hundred applications were outstanding a year ago and this number has now fallen to 1751: of these about 250 have been waiting between one and two years and 600 over two years. Two thousand and eighteen telephones were fitted during the last 12 months.
