HC Deb 16 April 1923 vol 162 cc1719-20W
Sir R. HAMILTON

asked the Postmaster-General when it is proposed to restore telegraphic communication between the island of Fetlar and the mainland of Shetland?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

There is a large amount of cable repair work to he undertaken by the Post Office cable ships, and I fear that some time may elapse before telegraphic communication with the island of Fetlar can be restored. I need hardly assure the hon. Member that no avoidable delay will occur.
