§ Sir GEORGE CAMPBELL (Kirkcaldy)I beg to ask the Postmaster General if he can now inform the House what are the terms on which the telegraph cables to the Continent are taken 1040 over; and whether the valuation is based on the actual present value of the plant?
§ *MR. JACKSONI am desired by the Postmaster General to say that the actual price to be paid for submarine telegraph cables is still under discussion, and, consequently, I am not able to furnish the information asked for by the hon. Baronet.
