HC Deb 15 May 1890 vol 344 cc940-1
MR. KEAY

I beg to ask the Postmaster General whether his attention has been called to the insufficiency of the postal service at Nethy Bridge, Inverness-shire, in the matter of communication with the South; whether he will consider the advisability of authorising a despatch from Nethy Bridge by the train which leaves Nethy Bridge for the South on the afternoons of week days; and whether a despatch and delivery of letters at Nethy Bridge can be inaugurated, viâ Grantown and Boat-of-Garten, during the summer season, similar to the despatch and delivery by that route possessed by Dulnain Bridge, the distance to be covered being smaller in the former than in the latter case?

*MR. RAIKES

I have not received any application on the subject to which the hon. Member refers. Nethy Bridge has already two deliveries of letters, and two despatches to the South, and, on the whole, appears to be well served; but I am having inquiry made into the question of establishing an additional mail.
