HC Deb 27 June 1898 vol 60 cc217-8
MR. PATRICK O'BRIEN

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether, for the convenience of people attending Committees, he could arrange to have a telegraph messenger in attendance in the corridor upstairs, to take telegrams to the office, Central Hall, and to provide forms?

MR. HANBURY

The Postmaster General does not think the arrangement suggested by the honourable Member would be quite satisfactory. He proposes, therefore, with the consent of the authorities of the House, to station a suitable officer in a convenient position in the corridor, whilst Committees are sitting, to receive telegrams and supply forms; and any telegrams deposited with this officer will be conveyed by messenger to the telegraph office in the Central Hall.
