HC Deb 16 June 1886 vol 306 c1630
MR. HOOPER (Cork, S.E.)

(for Mr. GILHOOLY) (Cork, W.) asked the Secretary to the Treasury, Whether, in consequence of the inconvenience caused to the people of Bauravilla and its neighbourhood by the Postal arrangements there, a Sub-Post Office will be established in that district?

THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. HENRY H. FOWLER) (Wolverhampton, E.)

In reply to the hon. Member I beg to state that the average number of letters for Bauravilla is shown, on inquiry, to be only about 25 a-week, and the establishment of a Post Office would not be warranted. Even now the Post by which Bauravilla receives its letters is maintained at a heavy loss.
