§ Mr. RHYS DAVIESasked the Postmaster-General whether he can now give the final figures for the year 1930–31, showing the surplus or deficit on the postal, telegraph and telephone services, as published in the commercial accounts?
§ Sir K. WOODI am unable at present to state the final figures, but I am advised the following statement is not likely to undergo any substantial alteration:
£ Postal surplus 9,850,000 Telegraph deficit 1,005,000 Telephone surplus 343,000 Total net surplus £9,188,000
