HC Deb 30 July 1919 vol 118 cc2136-7W
Lieut-Colonel MURRAY

asked the Postmaster-General whether there are any reasons for the retention of the rule requiring the name and address of the sender of inland telegrams to be added to a telegram, if the same are not intended to be telegraphed?

Mr. ILLINGWORTH

The rule requiring that the name and address of the sender of an inland telegram shall be written on the form, although they are not part of the telegram, has been cancelled. Although this information need not be given in future there la some advantage in giving it, in order that the sender may be notfied in case the telegram cannot be delivered.
