HC Deb 22 November 1906 vol 165 c967
MR. W. T. WILSON (Lancashire, Westhoughton)

To ask the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that during the recent visit of the Minister of Education to Bristol, the commercial telegraph work suffered delay, the staff in the daytime was reduced in order to attend for the press work in the evening; that messages of urgent business importance were delayed over 60 minutes; that 220 waits were given on the concentrator system; that a number of sets of instruments were unused for want of staff; and whether he will inquire into the arrangements of the Bristol office.

(Answered by Mr. Sydney Buxton.) I am having inquiry made upon the subject and will inform the hon. Member of the result.
