MR. J. E. ELLIS (Nottingham, Rushclifte)I beg to ask the Postmaster General whether the judicial decision respecting the railways and telegraphic messages to which he alluded in Committee of Supply 23rd July, 1890, has now been given; and, in that case, what steps he proposes to take to remedy an arrangement which has turned out to be so financially detrimental to the public?
§ MR. RAIKESA decision on the question referred to by the hon. Member has not yet been given; but my legal advisers are now preparing some proposals which may, I trust, enable me to take action in the direction which he indicates.
