§ DR. FARQUHARSON (Aberdeenshire W.)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether it can be arranged for the country telegraph postmasters to have a half holiday on Coronation Day.
§ THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN,) Worcestershire, E.The question of keeping open country telegraph offices on Coronation Day must depend to some extent on the general order in Council to be issued on the subject of the observance of that day, which the Government is not at present in a position to issue.
