§ 85. Mr. MORRELLasked the Postmaster-General whether his attention has been called to the expense and inconvenience caused to traders and the consequent dislocation of trade by the total prohibition of the use of codes for cabling to distant countries; and whether he could now consider the framing of Regulations to permit the resumption of codes in approved cases by responsible trading firms?
§ The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. Hobhouse)The question of allowing the use of code in telegrams to places abroad has received the attention of His Majesty's Government, but it is not considered advisable to relax the Regulations at present.
