HC Deb 28 July 1902 vol 111 cc1361-2
MR. JOYCE (Limerick)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether his attention has been drawn to the fact that on Wednesday last Mr. Robert Gibson, Limerick, received a wire from Kilrush, County Clare, signed Moody, and then got a notice stating that the reply which he sent could not be delivered owing to insufficient address; and whether, with the view of preventing loss to the sender of the telegram, he will have an inquiry made into the circumstances; and will he state when the result of the inquiry will be known of the inquiry being held at Limerick Post Office.

THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN,) Worcestershire, E.

Inquiry is being made with respect to the non-delivery of the telegram to which the hon. Member refers, and the result shall be communicated to him. The Postmaster General has received the Report of the officer entrusted with the inquiry into the Limerick office, and the several points of detail, which, as the result shows, require attention, are now being dealt with.

MR. JOYCE

Will I get a copy of the Report?

MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN

No, I think not.
