§ MR. FRASER-MACKINTOSH (Inverness-shire)I beg to ask the Postmaster General whether he has received communications from the proprietor of the Island of North Uist and others, complaining of the inefficiency of the local and internal postal services; and whether he can state the annual postal revenue from the island, and the cost of these internal services?
§ *THE POSTMASTER GENERAL (Mr. RAIKES, Cambridge University)I have received communications on this subject from the proprietor of the island, and I have caused replies to be sent explaining in much detail the reasons against altering the existing internal postal service. There has not been time to ascertain exactly how the revenue from the corre- 113 spondence of the island compares with the expenditure, but the information shall be obtained and furnished to the hon. Member.
