§ 64. Sir W. Darlingasked the Postmaster-General how frequently telegrams are delayed from the stoppage of pneumatic tubes and, other than the refund of the cost of the telegram, what compensation is payable as a result of loss arising out of departmental inefficiency.
§ Mr. Wilfred PalingOn average, a pneumatic tube has less than one stoppage a year and the proportion of telegrams delayed from this cause is negligible. No compensation is payable for any consequential loss.
