(b) Departments in practice periodically sent out instructions that economy of words in telegrams should be enforced: (c) On the whole, the worst offenders were abroad and not in London: (d) It might be desirable that each Department should appoint an Officer whose duty it would be to scrutinise all incoming and outgoing telegrams and bring to the attention of the appropriate authorities any cases where unnecessary or unduly lengthy telegrams were being sent or received: (e) Alternatively, the Cypher Security Committee could draw the attention of Departments to cases of such unnecessary or unduly lengthy telegrams: (f) It was suggested that the Cypher Security Committee should extend its enquiries to the Civil Departments that sent telegrams abroad and should report such cases as they thought fit to the SubCommittee.
