HC Deb 05 July 1883 vol 281 cc475-6
MR. LEWIS (for Mr. PULESTON)

asked the Postmaster General, Whether he will lay upon the Table of the House the details of the calculation made in connection with the several alternative schemes proposed for the carrying out of the system of sixpenny telegrams?

MR. FAWCETT

Sir, in reply to the hon. Member, I may state that the Government will not come to any decision as to the particular scheme for introducing 6d. telegrams before next Session, and there will then be no objection to give, as far as practicable, details of the financial results to be anticipated from each of the three schemes mentioned in the Treasury Minute.
