Viscount WOLMER

asked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that a telegram handed in to the Christchurch station at 12.45 p.m. on Saturday, 11th July, and addressed to Cyprus House, Hanstock, Winchester, was not received at Winchester Post Office till 2.14 p.m.; and what steps he proposes to take to prevent such delays in future?

Mr. HOBHOUSE

I am not aware of the circumstances which gave rise to the delay of the telegram, but I am making inquiries, and I will inform the Noble Lord of the result.
