§ MR. DOOGAN (Tyrone, E.)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether he has recived a further detailed statement from the residents of Coagh, county Tyrone, suggesting how the defects in their postal service could be remedied at slight, if any, cost; and, whether the Coagh memorial praying for redress, which was refused last year on the ground of expense, will be reconsidered in view of the fresh information furnished.
§ MR. HANBURYThe Postmaster General has received a further detailed statement from the inhabitants of Coagh, county Tyrone, suggesting how a better postal service to that place could be provided. The desired improvements, however, could not be afforded without considerable additional cost. Even if a 1334 service between Cookstown and Coagh could be provided at practically the same cost as the present service between Moneymore and Coagh, which does not seem likely, considerable additional expenditure would still be necessary in order to maintain the existing delivery to places on the road between Moneymore and Coagh; and such expenditure would not be warranted.
