HC Deb 04 May 1905 vol 145 c928
DR. MACNAMARA (Camberwell, N.)

I beg to ask the Postmaster - General whether, in view of the importance of a full inquiry into the proposed Telephone Agreement, and the fact that the Committee has not yet been appointed, he will take steps to suspend the clause making the completion of the purchase automatic.

LORD STANLEY

No. Sir. It is not in my power to modify the agreement which I have signed.
