HC Deb 23 June 1921 vol 143 c1582W
Sir R. CLOUGH

asked the Postmaster-General whether, to obviate the inconvenience to country districts caused by the abolition of Sunday deliveries, he will consider the introduction of private news telegrams at a cheaper rate and slower transmission on Saturday evenings after 2 p.m.?

Mr. KELLAWAY

As explained in my answer to a question asked by the hon. Member for Kirkdale (Mr. Pennefather) on the 14th June, I doubt whether a non-urgent telegraph service in this country could be worked without increasing the telegraph deficit; but I will have further consideration given to the question of introducing such a service as is now suggested.
