Uddrag af Forhandlinger i det engelske Parliament om Telegrafbillen.
Tirsdagen den 21de Juli 1868. (Efter Times af 22de Juli 1868).
The Chancellor of the Exchequer said in moving
that the House go into Committee upon this Bill,
he proposed to give soine explanation of what had
transpired with respect to the Bill since it had
been sent upstairs. When the Bill was hefore the
House on the second reading no arrangement had
been come to between the promoters of the Bill
and the railway and telegraph companies. With
respect to the telegraph companies the promoters
of the Bill had offered them the actual price paid
np, and, in addition, what an arbitrator would
give them for the prospective increase likely to
occur in their income, and an additional sum for
the compulsory sale. That offer was declined by
the electric telegraph companies, and therefore
when he proposed the second reading of the Bill
no terms whatever had been agreed upon. As
soon as the Bill had been read a second time,
however, the electric telegraph companies became
much more amenable to reasou, and terms were
agreed upon by which they were to recieve 20
years’ purchase of their present net profits. There
were some minor points of difference with respect
to some of the companies, but those were the
terms upon which the agreements generally were
based. With regard to the railway companies,
hefore the labours of the committee had proceeded
very far those companies entered into an arrange
ment with the promoters of the Bill and withdrew
their opposition to it.
First the Scotch railway companies agreed
with the Government, and it was well known that
the natives of that part of Great Britain were by
no means deficient in shrewdness and practical
knowledge of their affais. (A laugh.)
Finantsministeren sagde, idet han foreslog
at Huset skulde gaa i Komité over denne Bill, at
han vilde give nogle Oplysninger om hvad der
havde tildraget sig med Hensyn til Billen siden
den var bleven sendt ovenpaa. Da Billen var for
Underhuset ved den anden Læsning, var det ikke
kommet til ncget Arrangement mellem Forslags
stillerne og Jernbane- og Telegrafkompagnierne.
Med Hensyn til Telegrafkompagnierne, havde For
slagsstillerne tilbudt dem den virkelige Værdi af
deres indbetalte Kapital med Tillæg af hvad en Vold
giftsmand vilde give dem for den fremtidige For
øgelse, der sandsynligvis vilde finde Sted i deres
Indkomster og endnu et Tillæg for det tvungne
Salg. Dette Tilbud var blevet afslaaet af de Elek
triske Telegraf-Kompagnier og derfor var man, da
han foreslog Billens anden Læsning ikke kommen
til Enighed om nogensomhelst Betingelser. Imid
lertid bleve, saasnart Billen var bleven læst for
anden Gang, de Elektriske Telegraf-Kompagnier
mere modtagelige forKaison og man kom overens
om Betingelser, ifølge hvilke de skulde erhokle
20 Aars Kjøb af deres nærværende Nettoindtægt.
Der vare enkelte ubetydelige Forskjelligheder med
Hensyn til nogle af Kompagnierne, men disse vare
de Betingelser paa hvilke Overenskomstefne ial
mindelighed vare baserede. Med Hensyn til Jern
bane - Kompagnierne, gik disse Kompagnier før
Komitéen var skredet syuderligt frem, ind paa et
Arrangement med Billens Forslagsstillere, og toge
sin Opposition mod den tilbage.
De skotske Jernbane-Kompagnier kom først
til Enighed med Regjeringen, og det var vel
bekjendt, at de Indfødte i den Del af Storbritannien
paa ingen Maade stode tilbage i Kløgt og praktisk
Forstand paa sine Affairer. (Latter.)
