HC Deb 21 May 1908 vol 189 c508
MR. CARLILE

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether he can now state what are the arrangements which have been made in order to increase the cable communications between the Mother Country and the various self-governing Colonies.

MR. SYDNEY BUXTON

No recent arrangements have been made in order to increase the cable communications between the Mother Country and the various self-governing Colonies, nor have any of the Colonies proposed that such arrangements should be made.

MR. CARLILE

Is the subject under consideration?

MR. SYDNEY BUXTON

There has been no suggestion thrown out as yet.
