§ SIR MANCHERJEE BHOWNAGGREE (Bethnal Green, N.E.)To ask the Postmaster-General whether, in analogy with the rule that all names of towns and villages which are denoted by more than one word are counted as 276 one word each in a telegraphic message, he intends to issue instructions that the names of districts in the metropolis which are expressed by more than one word, such as Charing Cross, Bethnal Green, etc., should be counted as one word in telegrams.
(Answered by Lord Stanley.) I am sorry that I do not see my way to propose any change in the method of counting in telegrams the names of districts in the metropolis which are expressed by more than one word, such as Charing Cross, Bethnal Green, etc.
