HC Deb 26 January 1897 vol 45 c508
MR. W. FIELD (Dublin, St. Patrick)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether he will afford the Irish Mails Committee an opportunity of examining the time table before the contract is finally approved of by the Postmaster General?

MR. HANBURY

The Postmaster General will be happy to give the Irish Mails Committee an opportunity of examining in detail the time table which has now been fixed and of receiving personal explanation upon it, but it is desirable that any meeting for the purpose should take place without delay, as negotiations for the improvement of the service in Ireland are necessarily contingent on the service between London and Dublin, and have already been postponed too long.
