§ 42 Mr. SMITHERSasked the Postmaster-General, in view of the discrepancy between£84,000 actually received and£500,000 receivable under ordinary rates for Press telegrams in 1925–6, whether he will consider the advisability of revising the rates for Press telegrams to a basis which will not involve a loss on this traffic?
§ Viscount WOLMERAn increase in the charges for Press telegrams would require legislation, but the matter will not be lost sight of.
§ Mr. HARMSWORTHMay I ask whether the matter will be immediately considered?
