HC Deb 27 July 1891 vol 356 c416
MR. LYELL

I beg to ask the Postmaster General whether he can say when the telegraph line to Heylor, in Shetland will be established?

*MR. RAIKES

I regret that I am not yet in a position to afford the hon. Member definite information on the question of an extension of the telegraph to Heylor. The wire which passes within about two-miles of that place is already sufficiently weighted with telegraph offices, and it will, I fear, be a most expensive operation to provide a satisfactory means of communication. As soon as the inquiries have been completed, I will communicate with the hon. Member.
