§ MR. SINCLAIR (Falkirk, &c.)asked the Postmaster General, If, considering the facilities afforded to the Press for the transmission of long telegrams, he is prepared to make any concession to individuals and private firms desirous of sending telegrams of considerably more than the average length; and, if he can see his way, with a view alike to promote the interest of the public and the financial prosperity of the Post Office, to reduce the charge for such telegraphic messages as exceed 24 words to 1s. for the first 24 words (the present charge for a message of this length), and a further charge of 1d. for each additional four words after the first 24?
§ THE POSTMASTER GENERAL (Mr. RAIKES) (Cambridge University)I am afraid I can only return the same reply as I did to the previous Question.
