asked the Postmaster-General if he will reconsider his refusal to provide an additional public telephone kiosk in the village of Tongwynlais, near Cardiff, in order to cater for the needs of the residents who live furthest from the existing public kiosk, and for the needs of those who live in the area of the Green-meadow Estate.

As my right hon. Friend has explained to the hon. Member in correspondence the current loss of over £4 million a year on the public telephone service means that he cannot provide as many additional new kiosks as he would wish. I am however having the particular case of another kiosk at Tongwynlais re-examined and I will write to the hon. Member when I have completed my inquiries.
