§ Mr. WADDINGTONasked the Postmaster-General if he is aware of the condition of the telegraph and telephone services in the borough of Bacup, Haslingden, and Rawtenstall, and that no serious attempts seem to be made to repair the broken-down lines; and, in view of the serious loss and inconvenience to traders, if he will give the matter his immediate attention?
§ Mr. ILLINGWORTHThe interruption of these services was due to a severe snowstorm. Every effort is being made to restore the lines at the earliest possible date.
