§ Sir F. SANDERSONasked the Postmaster-General whether, in view of the loss sustained in the telegraph service of his Department, he will consider the discontinuance of transmission of Press telegrams at the existing rate; and whether 596W he is satisfied that the Press as a, whole is desirous of retaining this form of subsidy?
§ Viscount WOLMERI beg to refer the hon. Baronet to the Postmaster-General's answer to a question put by the hon. Member for Everton (Co'onel Woodcock) on the 15th of February. So far as my information goes, the Press as a whole would not favour the abolition of a separate rate for Press telegrams.
