§ MR. HENNIKER HEATON (Canterbury)I beg to ask the Postmaster General whether he will undertake to bring on the Post Office Vote at such an early hour of the day as will afford ample facilities for the discussion of the telephonic communication in this country and the recent arrangements made by the Post Office on the subject?
§ MR. A. MORLEYI fear it is not possible, considering the period of the Session when the Telegraph Estimates are likely to be reached, for me to give the suggested undertaking. I am now engaged in carrying out the policy of the late Government, which was fully considered and discussed at the time and was approved by the House of Commons, and with regard to which a Committee of the House of Commons specially reported that the details should be settled on the responsibility of the Government.
