MR. WEIRI beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, if he will state when lie proposes to bring in a Bill placing Parish Councils in Scotland on the same footing as similar Councils in England in regard to guarantees which may be required by the Postmaster General for improved postal or telegraph facilities?
MR. HANBURYI hope to deal with this subject in the Post Office omnibus Bill, which will probably be introduced soon after Easter.
