§ MR. ISAACasked the Postmaster General, If he is aware of the great delay which has taken place in the telegraphing of important speeches made in Parliament and elsewhere to the London and provincial newspapers; and if any steps will be taken to avoid similar delay in future?
§ LORD JOHN MANNERS, in reply, said, he was not aware that great delays had occurred in the telegraphing of important speeches, either to or from London. No doubt, delays might occur when there was unusual pressure of business or in unfavourable conditions of the weather; but nothing had occurred calling for special measures to avoid delays in future.
