HC Deb 14 March 1893 vol 10 cc24-5
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the Postmaster General whether complaints have reached him that a telegram addressed "Wm, Campbell, fish merchant, Plock- ton," was handed in at Leicester on 9th March, at 9.30 forenoon, arriving at the Plockton telegraph office at 10.21 forenoon, and was not delivered at Mr. Campbell's residence till five o'clock in the evening of same day, though his house is only a short distance from the telegraph office; what the reason is for this delay in the delivery of this telegram; and what protection he proposes to extend in the future to the fishing population of Plockton district against loss in the disposal of their fish resulting from delays in the telegraph office there?

MR. A. MORLEY

No complaints on the subject have reached the Post Office in London; but I am having inquiry made, and I will communicate the result to the hon. Member.
