§ Mr. WEIRI beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether, in view of the amended regulations under which telegraph extensions may be provided under guarantee, he will state when he expects to introduce the promised Bill which will place parish councils in Scotland on the same footing as similar councils in England in regard to guarantees.
§ *Mr. HANBURYI hope to introduce a Bill containing this provision within the next few days.
