§ Mr. LESLIE SCOTTasked the Postmaster-General if he will give a list of the direct telegraphic lines between Liverpool and London, and between Liverpool and other towns of the United Kingdom, distinguishing those lines which are more particularly intended for commercial service?
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELI am sending the hon. and learned Member the list for which he asks. He will see that Liverpool has direct communication with seventy-one towns in the United Kingdom by means of 125 wires, furnishing about 200 separate channels. Of these twenty-six wires, giving forty-four channels, are to London, and ninety-nine wires, giving about 160 channels, are to other towns. I cannot distinguish the lines intended more particularly for commercial purposes, because all lines carry commercial work:—
