§ MR. WEIRI beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether he is aware that certain steamer charges for the conveyance of Her Majesty's mails to various districts in the north and west of Scotland are charged to the Scottish Office Vote; and will he state whether there is any reason why the whole of the steamer charges for the conveyance of Her Majesty's mails to the various parts of the United Kingdom should not be charged to the Post Office Vote?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR,) Manchester, E.No, Sir. The honourable Gentleman is mistaken; all these charges, I am informed, are placed on the Post Office Vote.
