HC Deb 17 June 1913 vol 54 c206
59. Mr. GOLDMAN

asked, with reference to the circular letters dated May, 1909, and July, 1909, whether the Committee appointed to consider and adjudicate upon telegraph codes, and, if found to be in order, to issue certificates in the form given in circular letter of July, 1909, have completed their labours, and when their certificates will be issued?

Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL

The Committee have practically completed their labours, and I hope that it will be possible to begin the issue of certificates shortly.

Mr. GOLDMAN

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that the East India Government have given notice that unless the certificates are granted by 1st January the telegraph codes will be disallowed?

Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL

I think the certificates will be ready long before 1st January.
