HC Deb 12 May 1893 vol 12 c787
MR. MACARTNEY

I wish to put to the Postmaster General a question which he may probably be able to answer without notice. It is whether the Campania, which has just arrived at Queenstown, made the fastest passage— namely, 5 days 18 hours 40 minutes, and whether in consequence American letters specially marked to be sent by her will be delivered in Dublin this evening, and in London and elsewhere to-morrow; also when the Post Office expects the mails arriving from America by the Southampton route, which will not reach here till to-morrow, will be delivered?

MR. A. MORLEY

I should like to have notice of that question.

MR. FLYNN (Cork, N. E.)

Do the Post Office keep a record of the times made on both the Southampton and Queenstown routes?

MR. A. MORLEY

Yes, Sir; a careful record is kept.
