HC Deb 17 February 1902 vol 103 c205
MR. EDWARD BARRY (Cork County, S.)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether the parcel post despatches from Rosscarbery during the months of October, November and December of last year were in excess of the parcel post despatches from every other town in Ireland of equal population; whether, seeing that there is a large correspondence between it and the different centres in England and elsewhere, steps will be taken to establish a second daily delivery of letters in that town.

MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN

The Postmaster General is aware that the parcel post business at Rosscarbery is considerable, but as regards the question of establishing a second post to that place he is unable at present to add anything to the answer given to the hon. Member on the 30th of January.†
