§ 83. Mr. GOULDasked the Postmaster-General if he is aware of the serious delay caused in the dispatch of British-owned steamers in foreign ports through the excessive delay in transmitting sailing orders sent by the managers viâ the established cable routes; if he is aware of the demand for tonnage in British home ports; and whether he can make arrangements for prompt dispatch of cables having reference to ships?
§ Mr. PIKE PEASEI would refer the hon. Member to the reply my right hon. Friend gave yesterday to a similar question by the hon Member for North Salford (Mr. Tillett). I fear it is impracticable to give special facilities to messages relating to ships.
