HC Deb 11 August 1871 vol 208 c1431
MR. GRAVES

asked the Postmaster General, What steps have been taken with reference to a Memorial (presented some months since) from the Merchants of Liverpool, asking for increased mail communication between that port and the Isle of Man during the winter months, and how far he will be able to meet the request thus made?

MR. MONSELL

said, in reply, that a memorial from the merchants of Liverpool, asking for increased mail communication between that port and the Isle of Man during the winter months, had been received, but only the day before yesterday. The subject should be at once taken into consideration, and he had every reason to hope that it would be possible to improve the postal communication with the Island.
