HC Deb 21 May 1900 vol 83 cc739-40
COLONEL PRYCE-JONES (Montgomery Boroughs)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, if the report has been received of the inquiry into the telegraphic arrangements at Welshpool, Montgomery, Berriew, and Chirbury, in the county of Montgomery, and, if so, whether it is proposed to improve the facilities, and when.

THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. HANBURY, Preston)

With the view of improving the telegraph facilities at the places named by the hon. Member, the Postmaster General has authorised the erection of a new wire between Welshpool and Shrews- bury. The work will be proceeded with as quickly as possible, and it will, the Postmaster General hopes, be completed next month.
