HC Deb 02 September 1895 vol 36 cc1443-4
MR. KNOX

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether the Postmaster General is aware that by a change of the route of the rural messenger between Feeny and Fincarn Post Office, County Derry, many householders, including a shopkeeper who carries on a considerable business through the Parcels Post, have been greatly inconvenienced; and, whether he will direct that the matter be reconsidered?

THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. R. W. HANBURY,) Preston

The route of the rural postman referred to was altered in order to afford a delivery at several houses formerly un-served, but it was understood that no inconvenience would be occasioned to any residents on the old route. The matter shall be reconsidered in accordance with the hon. Member's request, and the result communicated to him.
