HC Deb 13 April 1886 vol 304 cc1427-8
MR. HOWARD VINCENT (Sheffield, Central)

asked the honourable Member for North-West Staffordshire, as representing the First Commissioner of Works, If arrangements can be made for the conveyance of Members' telegrams to the Telegraph Office by pneumatic tube or otherwise, from the Post Office in the Inner Lobby; and, if sufficient accommodation does not now exist to enable this to be done, if additional space can be provided?

MR. LEVESON GOWER (A LORD of the TREASURY) (Stafford, N.W.)

There is great difficulty in the way of providing additional postal accommodation in the House, all available space being fully occupied for other purposes; but the First Commissioner of Works will confer with the Postmaster General on the subject. The Postmaster General has authorized a messenger to be stationed in the inner Lobby to facilitate the communication of Members with the telegraph office.
