§ MR. MAURICE HEALY (Cork)I beg to ask the Postmaster General whether his attention has been called to the recent Report of the Cork Chamber of Commerce and Shipping with reference to the postal arrangements of the City of Cork, in which complaint is made of the action of the General Post Office Authorities in not supplying a sufficient number of experienced sorters, in consequence of which the in-coming morning mail is not delivered in time in the city to permit of replies being despatched by the outgoing mid-day mail; and whether this state of things will be remedied?
§ MR. RAIKESIn answer to the hon. Member, I have to state that an addition to the Sorting Force at the Cork Post Office has just been made for the purpose he describes, and I have no reason to believe that anything further is needed. I will, however, make inquiry in the matter, with a view to ascertaining how the new arrangements are working.
