HC Deb 27 February 1899 vol 67 c610
MR. JOHN WILSON (Govan)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster-General, whether he is aware that the Post Office Department insist on telegrams for Govan having the word Glasgow; and whether he can see his way to have this annoyance discontinued?

MR. HANBURY

No, Sir, the Postmaster-General is not aware that his department insists on telegrams for Govan having the word Glasgow. If the honourable Member will bring to the Postmaster-General's notice any case in which the addition of the word "Glasgow" has been insisted upon, inquiry will be made into it. Meanwhile the attention of the officers of the department will be called to the matter by means of the "Post Office Circular."
