§ MR. O'HANLON (Cavan, E.)asked the Postmaster General, Is he aware that the people in the district of Grangegeith have been, and still are, paying out of their private purse the wages of 710 a letter carrier and the rent of a post, office in their district for over eight months; will he try and hasten the inquiry so long promised by him; and, will he also say when the inquiry will be made into this matter, which is in itself a great grievance and hardship to the people of this particular district?
§ THE POSTMASTER GENERAL (Mr. RAIKES) (Cambridge University)The facts are, I believe, accurately stated by the hon. Member. I can assure him that I shall carry out my promise to institute an inquiry into them, and I shall lose no time in communicating to him the result; but for obvious reasons it would not be desirable to announce in advance the time at which the inquiry will be made.
