HC Deb 04 August 1913 vol 56 cc1047-8W
Mr. MITCHELL-THOMSON

asked the Postmaster-General whether he can give alb statement showing the existing and the revised rates for telegraphic communication between Great Britain and the West Indies and Canada and the West Indies, respectively?

Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL

The negotiations for the reductions in West Indian cable rates, referred to on 31st July by the Secretary of State for the Colonies, are not yet quite complete. Consequently, I am not in a position to give a list of the revised rates. The rates will be published as soon as the necessary agreements are complete.
