HC Deb 04 July 1919 vol 117 c1279W
Mr. HOOD

asked the Secretary of State for War; whether he can now give an approximate date when the use of private cable codes will again be permitted between Great Britain and the British Dominions and between Great Britain and the United States, so as to minimise the cost of cabling under present conditions, which constitute a handicap to British trade?

Mr. CHURCHILL

As stated in reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Moray and Nairn on Tuesday last, it is hoped that circumstances may soon render relaxation in this direction possible.
