Mr. WILLIAM REDMONDasked the Postmaster-General whether, in view of the number of people who have friends in Australia, and who cannot afford expensive messages, he will consider the advisability of extending the deferred delivery cable rate so that it may be possible to send a message to Australia of ten words for 5s., with a condition that the message may, if necessary, be delayed in its delivery for forty-eight or seventy-two hours or even longer?
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELI am giving attention to this matter but I am not at present in a position to make any statement with regard to it.
