HC Deb 23 July 1919 vol 118 c1405W
Colonel LAMBERT WARD

asked the Postmaster-General if he is aware that telegrams from Lisbon are taking eleven or twelve days on the way; and if he can take any steps to improve the service?

Mr. PEASE

During a recent strike in Portugal telegrams from Lisbon were delayed for seven days, but at present the average time of transmission is about two days.
