HC Deb 05 March 1919 vol 113 c418W
Sir MAURICE DOCKRELL

asked the Postmaster-General if, in view of the serious interruption to business consequent on the defective service of both telegraph and telephone between the Stock Exchanges of London and Dublin, he can now permit the private wire of the Dublin Stock Exchange, discontinued during the War, to be reinstalled?

Mr. ILLINGWORTH

That portion of the telegraph traffic between London and Dublin which relates to Stock Exchange business is not large enough to warrant the allocation of a wire solely for the Dublin Stock Exchange without prejudicing the interests of the general public in Dublin whose messages would then be subject to still greater delay.
