§ Mr. HINDSasked the Postmaster-General whether he will consider the advisability of circulating, by means of notices placed in post offices, the advantages offered to agricultural areas in regard to telephones; and whether, in the case of the rural districts of Wales, they will be published in the Welsh language?
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELI will consider the suggestion of the hon. Member. Amongst other expedients, I am taking advantage of the facilities afforded by the publications and notices of the Agricultural Organisation Society and its affiliated local associations and of the Board of Agriculture to bring the rural party line service directly under the notice of farmers and other rural residents; and I think that perhaps better results can be achieved in this way than by exhibiting notices in post offices.
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELThe point of language will receive consideration if notices are to be exhibited in the post offices.
