HC Deb 20 May 1895 vol 33 c1577
MR. HENNIKER HEATON (Canterbury)

I beg to ask the Postmaster General whether he will appoint a Select Committee to inquire why there is a loss on sixpenny telegrams throughout the country, and to inquire into other matters connected with the expenditure and deficit in the telegraph department, especially with regard to press telegrams?

THE POSTMASTER GENERAL (Mr. ARNOLD MORLEY,) Nottingham, E.

No, Sir; I cannot agree to the appointment of a Select Committee as the hon. Member suggests, except on the terms which I stated in this House on the 4th and on the 29th ultimo. I beg to refer the hon. Member to the answers I then gave. I have, so far, received no such assurance as I asked for on those occasions.
