HC Deb 17 September 1914 vol 66 cc979-81
Mr. THOMAS TAYLOR

asked the Post-master-General whether the Government have yet been able to relieve the burden on the commercial community resulting from the prohibition of the use of code?

The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. Hobhouse)

I have been in communication with the cable companies, and I hope to arrive at an arrangement in the course of to-day which will substantially reduce the cost of cabling to countries outside the European system. As soon as the negotiations are completed I will issue an announcement to the Press.
