HC Deb 10 December 1958 vol 597 c57W
71. Mr. Sydney Irving

asked the Postmaster-General what steps he is taking to reorganise the telegraph service so as to encourage its wider use.

Mr. K. Thompson

The Advisory Committee on the Inland Telegraph Service, whose report was published last August, regarded a continuing decline in this service as inevitable, and I believe this conclusion to be right. The Committee did, however, recommend that the use of de luxe Greetings telegrams should be encouraged, and an extended range of these services will be available during next year.
