Let G = (V(G), E(G)) be a connected multigraph and let h(G) be the minimum integer k such that for every edge-colouring of G, using exactly k colours, there is at least one edge-cut of G all of whose edges receive different colours. In this note it is proved that if G has at least 2 vertices and has no bridges, then h(G) = |E(G)| -|V(G)| + 2.
