§ 67. Dr. MORRIS-JONESasked the Postmaster-General whether telegrams addressed to a person in a train stationary at a railway station are delivered; and whether, in the event of their non-delivery, notification to that effect is sent to the sender?
§ Mr. LEES-SMITHThe practice of the Post Office is to hand any such telegrams to the stationmaster for disposal. In the event of non-delivery the sender is normally advised, provided that his name and address are known.
§ Dr. MORRIS-JONESIs the hon. Gentleman aware that a telegram which I sent to another hon. Member of this House, addressed to him ire r train which waited 20 minutes at a station, has not been delivered although it vas sent three weeks ago, and that I have received no notification of non-delivery?
§ Mr. LEES-SMITHProbably the hon. Member did not put on his address.
§ Mr. R. A. TAYLORWas this telegram addressed in Welsh?
Mr. OWENAs the hon. Member concerned, may I ask the hon. Gentleman if he is aware that many hundreds of people were very nearly deprived of hearing the true gospel of Liberalism on this occasion, because the telegram was not delivered?
