§ MR. MAURICE HEALYI beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, what the difficulty is in improving the system of transhipping the mails at Kingstown and Holyhead; what proposals on the subject have been made and considered; and whether the difficulty has arisen with the Railway Company, the Steam Packet Company or the Post Office?
§ MR. HANBURYThe hon. Member will find the whole matter to which his question relate set forth in the copy of correspondence between the Board of Trade, the Postmaster General and the City of Dublin Steam Packet Company, ordered by the House of Commons to be printed on the 7th August 1890.
§ MR. MAURICE HEALYcalled the right hon. Gentleman's attention to the fact that three times last year he said that the Post Office had the matter under consideration.
§ MR. HANBURYsaid the hon. Member was quite correct; but, the Post Office had not furnished them with information yet.
§ MR. T. M. HEALY (Louth, N.)asked whether the right hon. Gentleman was aware that the London and North Western Railway Company emphatically contradicted the Post Office in alleging that the Railway Company were at fault.
§ MR. MAURICE HEALYasked if the hon. Gentleman could not get the materials to enable him to answer the Question.
§ MR. HANBURYsaid that if the hon. Member would put the Question down again, he would give full information.
