HC Deb 24 October 1884 vol 293 cc162-3
MR. RUSTON

asked the Postmaster General, Whether he could inform the House when he would introduce the sixpenny telegrams?

MR. FAWCETT

In reply to my hon. Friend's Question, I have to say that there is no intention to alter the decision which my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer announced when introducing his Budget, that the reduced rate for inland telegrams would be brought into operation on the 1st of August next.
