§ MR. COX (Clare, E.)I beg to ask the Postmaster General whether he is aware of the great inconvenience to Irishmen in London in not having any convenient receiving office for posting letters to Ireland on Sunday; whether at present such letters have to be posted at Euston Station in order to catch the Sunday night mail; and whether he will consider the desirability of having a receiving office for Sunday evening's mail at Charing Cross or some other central place?
§ SIR J. FERGUSSONSuch inconvenience is shared by Scotchmen and English provincial visitors to London. Letters on Sunday can only be posted at the General Post Office or at the railway termini. The opening of another receiving office at Charing Cross, or elsewhere, has often been considered, but it has not been thought proper to increase the Sunday work in the London post offices without some considerable public demand being made for it.
§ MR. WEBB (Waterford, W.)Can letters be posted at Victoria Station?
§ SIR J. FERGUSSONAt all the principal railway termini letters can be posted on Sunday.
