HC Deb 22 April 1926 vol 194 c1387
72. Mr. AMMON

asked the Postmaster-General what is the estimated annual cost of the special telegraph rates allowed to the Press?

The ASSISTANT POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Viscount Wolmer)

Expenditure cannot be apportioned with exactitude between Press and ordinary inland telegrams; but a rough estimate shows the loss on Press telegrams to be about £250,000 for the year ended March, 1925.
