HC Deb 10 May 1897 vol 49 c100
MR. O'MALLEY

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, if he will advise the delivery of letters on Sundays to Carna, Connemara, as at present great inconvenience is caused by the absence of a Sunday post to this populous district?

*MR. HANBURY

Even the week-day service to Carna is carried on at a loss to the revenue, and, as a Sunday post could not be established without additional expenditure, the Postmaster General is precluded on this ground from complying with the wishes of the hon. Member.
