§ MR. M'GHEEI beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster-General, with reference to the posting of letters from the House of Commons to Ireland, whether he is aware that the latest hour for posting with an extra stamp is 8 p.m., and whether this was exactly the latest time for posting such letters when the mails left Euston considerably earlier than they do now; and whether he will consider the matter with the view of extending the time for posting letters addressed to Ireland?
§ MR. HANBURYThe facts are as stated by the honourable Member. The late letters from the House of Commons for the Irish night mail—dispatched from Euston at 8.45 p.m.—are sent to Euston with the late letters for the Scotch mail, which is dispatched at 8.30 p.m.
