Mr R. A. Wright (Wellington Suburbs) asked the Postmaster-General (Hon. A. Hamilton) if he would arrange with tho British Post Office authorities with a view to permitting acceptance of collect week-end cablegrams between England and New Zealand.—Mr Hamilton said the question had' been considered several times at International Telegraph Conferences, but each time the decision had been against the adoption of such an arrangement. He pointed out that upon receipt at the office of destination weekend cable messages were treated as letters and were posted to the addressees. Any proposal to collect transmission charges from the addressees would be accompanied by difficulties which would render such a course impracticable. .
