HC Deb 30 April 1900 vol 82 c283
MR. THOMAS SHAW (Hawick Burghs)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether he is willing to lay upon the Table of the House, as a Parliamentary Paper, the documents constituting the agreement under which the Department of the Post Office holds itself bound, at the request of the National Telephone Company, to make application for leave to open up the streets of burghs for the laying of telephone wires, etc., and to cede the use of such wires to the National Telephone Company.

MR. HANBURY

The draft of this agreement was printed in Parliamentary Paper No. 267 of 1894, and the agreement itself was printed as Parliamentary Paper No. 128 of 1898. The purport of the agreement does not appear to be accurately expressed in the latter part of the hon. Member's question.
