HC Deb 24 July 1923 vol 167 c218
43. Captain HUDSON

asked the Post master-General if he will consider whether the telegraph office at Lords can be reopened, anyhow for the more popular matches?

The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Sir Laming Worthington-Evans)

The number of telegrams forwarded from the telegraph office at Lords last year, even on the occasion of the most popular matches, was very small and not nearly sufficient to cover working expenses, and I do not think that any substantial public inconvenience can have been caused by the withdrawal of the office. Several telephones are installed.
