§ Mr. JAMES HOPEasked the Postmaster-General if he will state what form the proposed Government contribution in lieu of rates on property transferred from the National Telephone Company will take; and on what basis it will be calculated?
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELI am sorry I cannot make a definite statement at present. It has been necessary to obtain certain returns of assessments from the National Telephone Company. These are only just available and will require examination before a decision can be arrived at.
