Speaking Clock, Newport

32.

Mr. Peter Freeman
asked the Postmaster-General whether he will arrange to install a speaking clock for the convenience of telephone subscribers when the new post office and telephone exchange is completed at Newport.

Mr. Hobson
My right hon. Friend hopes to provide this service when the new exchange is opened.

Mr. Llewellyn
Can the hon. Gentleman say whether a speaking clock will be installed in the new Cardiff exchange?

Mr. Hobson
We shall provide the service, but whether the speaking clock will be stationed in the Cardiff exchange I could not say without notice.
