HC Deb 05 March 1947 vol 434 c70W
79. Mr. Peter Freeman

asked the Assistant Postmaster-General whether it is his intention, to restore the greetings telegrams this year; and if so, when they will be available.

Mr. Burke

Conditions in the telegraph service at present preclude reintroduction of the greetings telegram service, and in view of the national manpower situation, I regret that I cannot say when this service is likely to be restored.
