HC Deb 19 July 1901 vol 97 cc1003-4
MR. TULLY (Leitrim, S.)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether he is aware that inconvenience has been caused to the inhabitants of Elphin owing to not receiving their letters daily till 4 p. m., as the mail car must come from Longford through Strokestown to Elphin; whether, seeing that if the letters were despatched by a mail car from Carrick-on-Shannon on the arrival of the limited mail they would reach Elphin at 11 a.m. each day, he will take steps to have this change carried out.

MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN

The Postmaster General will cause inquiry to be made whether it would be feasible to adopt the hon. Member's suggestion for improving the postal service to Elphin, and will communicate to him the result.
