asked the Postmaster-General when a telephone connection, application for which was made approximately two years ago, will be given to Mr. Pereira, of 35 Stowe Croft, Lichfield.

Mr. Pereira applied for a telephone at his home on 20th October, 1960, but the present Lichfield exchanges are full, and it is unlikely that we shall be able to give him service until next summer when a new exchange will be opened.
