HC Deb 21 July 1890 vol 347 c363
MR. CONYBEARE

I beg to ask the Postmaster General whether he still declines to afford hon. Members who may desire to visit the Post Office, with a view to seeing something of its internal administration before they are called upon to discuss and criticise it on the Post Office Estimates, the necessary facilities for so doing?

* MR. RAIKES

I am not aware that there has been more than one application recently on the part of any Member of this House to visit the General Post Office; and I think every Member who has applied at a convenient time will not be slow to admit that I have always been ready to do all in my power to facilitate his visit. The present moment is, however, not the best to select for such an inspection.

MR. CONYBEARE

Will such a convenient moment offer before the Post -Office Estimates come on for discussion?

* MR. RAIKES

No, Sir; I think not.
