HC Deb 13 January 1913 vol 46 c1657
37. Mr. CATHCART WASON

asked the Postmaster-General if he can give a list of telegraph offices in the Highlands and Islands that are supported by local guarantees, and showing to what extent the local guarantees are supplemented by the Scottish Board of Agriculture?

The ASSISTANT POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Captain Norton)

I am sending the hon. Member a list of the guaranteed telegraph offices in Scotland. None of these offices is directly guaranteed by the Scottish Board of Agriculture, but I am informed that the Board pays to the guarantors a portion of the deficit claimed by the Post Office in regard to the fifteen offices whose names are marked on the list.

Mr. CATHCART WASON

Will the right hon. Gentleman circulate the list with the voles?

Captain NORTON

I will consult my right hon. Friend on the matter.
