§ Mr. NANNETTIasked the Postmaster-General if he is aware that in the recent Cork libel case the Superintendent of Telegraphs swore that he never saw the circular which was stated to have been issued to those in control requesting them to treat those under them with consideration; and can he say why such an important centre as Cork was overlooked in this matter?
§ Mr. BUXTONThe confidential circular to which I presume the hon. Member refers was issued to the two Controllers in Dublin and to the Surveyors in Ireland to indicate the nature of the advice they should give to supervising officers. The circular itself was not intended to be communicated to supervising officers generally.
