HC Deb 11 December 1893 vol 19 c1024
MR. HENNIKER HEATON (Canterbury)

On behalf of the hon. Member for Dublin University (Mr. Carson), I beg to ask the Postmaster General whether he has entered into, or is about to enter into, an agreement with the Municipal Corporation of Dublin for the supply by them to the General Post Office, Dublin, of electric lighting; whether he has considered the relative cost of such supply, and the cost of creating and carrying on the supply by the Department as in London; and whether portions of the necessary apparatus for that purpose have already been erected at the General Post Office in Dublin?

MR. A. MORLEY

No proposal is under consideration for lighting the General Post Office in Dublin with electric light. Perhaps the hon. and learned Member is referring to the new parcel sorting office in Amiens Street, where the Board of Public Works are proposing to provide electric light.
