§ MR. JAMES PARKER (Halifax)To ask the Postmaster-General whether inquiries have been or are being made relative to the possibility of making regulations having the effect of holding telegraphists responsible for loss to the sender or recipient of a telegram wrongly transmitted; and whether he can state if the officials of the trade union representing telegraphists have been asked for an expression of opinion or have been put in possession of circulars addressed to surveyers to this effect.
(Answered by Mr. Sydney Buxton.) I have made no such inquiries, and I know nothing of any circulars to surveyors on the subject.
