§ MR. SMALLasked the Postmaster General, Whether he will consider the requirements of the towns on the Dublin and Wexford Line when the mails are accelerated, so that replies may be sent to cross-Channel letters from Gorey, Wexford, &c, without losing a post?
§ MR. FAWCETTThe particular acceleration of the Postal Service which will be practicable in the case of any towns in Ireland cannot be settled until 1190 the new time table for an accelerated service between London and Holyhead has been determined. Every effort is being made to hasten on the settlement; but the arrangement is a somewhat complicated one, as the mail train between London and Holyhead has to be made to fit in with all the cross trains bringing letters for the Irish Mail from the Provincial districts. I can assure the hon. Member that the postal requirements of the towns to which he refers on the Dublin and Wexford Railway shall be carefully considered.
