HC Deb 15 August 1901 vol 99 c949
MR. DALY

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether he is aware of the desire of the people of Shercock, county Cavan, and parts of county Monaghan, that the mail cars from Shercock to Carrickmacross should leave the former town in time to catch the 6.13 p.m. train leaving Carrickmacross; and if he will agree to the terms of the memorial received on this matter.

MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN

As explained in a letter addressed to the hon. Member yesterday, the alteration which he suggests in the time fixed for the departure of the mail car from Shercock for Carrickmacross would probably give rise to complaint; and the Postmaster General is not justified, therefore, in sanctioning the change unless evidence is adduced to show that the persons affected are practically unanimous in desiring it.
