§ MR. RICHARD POWERasked the Postmaster General, Whether it is a fact, as stated in the press, that the tender of the Dublin Steam Packet Company, for the conveyance of the mails between Holyhead and Kingstown, has been accepted by the Treasury; whether the tenders of the London and North Western Company are identical with those formerly accepted by the Treasury and abandoned; and, whether he will state the period for which the tender of the Dublin Steam Packet Company has been accepted, and say when full particulars will be laid before Parliament?
§ MR. FAWCETTNo decision, Sir, has yet been arrived at. I can only repeat the assurance I have already given, that as soon as a decision has been come to there shall be no delay in laying it before the House.
