HC Deb 10 May 1887 vol 314 cc1464-5
DR. CLARK (Caithness)

asked the Postmaster General, Whether it is the case that letters from Loch Lochy to Inverness, a distance of 15 miles, take 55 hours in delivery, and whether letters from Invergarry to Achnacarry, a distance of eight miles, are carried 360 miles before delivery; and, whether he intends to adopt measures to remedy the defective postal communication along the line of the Caledonian Canal, and to directly connect Inverness, Invergarry, and Fort William?

THE POSTMASTER GENERAL (Mr. RAIKES) (Cambridge University), in reply, said, it would be necessary to make inquiries before he could give any satisfactory reply to the Question of the hon. Member, and he should give directions for such inquiry to be made.
