Dr. Hill:

I am grateful to the hon. and learned Gentleman for warning me of that misprint. I should like, first, to give the answer to the Question which is on the Order Paper. Less than one year, 191; between one and two years, 78; between two and three years, 37, and over three years, 79.

Perhaps I may now add the figures for the Hornchurch urban district, which is mainly served by the Rainham, Hornchurch and Upminster exchanges. In that district there are 1,227 still waiting. Seven hundred and twenty-six of these have been waiting for less than one year; 250 between one and two years; 126 between two and three years, and 125 over three years.
