§ MR. PICTONOn behalf of my hon. Friend the Member for Londonderry (Mr. Justin M'Carthy) I wish to put a question to the Postmaster General of which he has received private notice, namely, why a special train was not sent down to Derry to-day with the late English mails?
SIR J. GORSTI have been requested by my right hon. Friend to answer the question. The arrangement for the use of a special train, under certain conditions, for the transmission of the English mails for Belfast was a provisional arrangement and limited to Belfast. In the event of it being adopted permanently, the question of making it applicable to Derry will be carefully considered.
