§ MR. WEIR (Ross and Cromarty)I beg to ask the Postmaster General whether, in the new contract for the conveyance of Her Majesty's mails between Strome Ferry and Stornoway, arrangements will he made for a steamer of sufficient power and speed to ensure the regular delivery of mails, and which shall afford suitable accommodation for second-class and steerage passengers?
§ MR. A. MORLEYProvision will certainly be made in the new contract for the use of a steamer of sufficient power 1037 and speed to ensure the regular delivery of the mails. I should hope that suitable accommodation for passengers would also be afforded; but this is a matter not within the scope of the contract.
