§ MR. MACDONALD (Tower Hamlets, Bow)I beg to ask the Postmaster General whether he expects to receive the Report of the Departmental Committee upon the working of the Telegraph Department at an early date?
§ THE POSTMASTER GENERAL (Mr. A. MORLEY,) Nottingham, E.The Committee, I am informed, are now considering their Report, and I have reason to believe that it will be in my hands in a few weeks. I ought to add, however, that the Committee, which was mainly intended to inquire into the possibility of introducing economy into the Service, will report for the information and guidance of the Department, and it is not consequently certain that their Report will be one which can properly be laid before Parliament.
