§ 21. Mr. George Jegerasked the Assistant Postmaster-General if he can now say when it will be possible to restore the night telegraph letter service.
§ Mr. BurkePresent conditions in the postal and telegraph service preclude the re-introduction of the night telegraph letter service for the time being. The matter is being kept under periodical review.
§ Mr. GlossopDoes not the Assistant Postmaster-General consider that the restoration of the night telegraph service would relieve the present congestion in the evenings on the telephone trunk lines?
§ Mr. BurkeYes, Sir. It is a question of fitting this in when our current staff are free, and also making it fit in with the night mail service.
