HC Deb 13 March 1902 vol 104 c1289
MR. SWIFT MACNEILL

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether a train service will be substituted for the present car service in forwarding the mails for South Donegal on Sundays, having regard to the fact that the railway company is willing to carry the mails on Sundays for the amount of the subsidy at present paid to the mail cars.

MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN

In view of the statement in the latter part of the hon. Member's question, further inquiry shall be made on the subject, and a reply sent to him as soon as possible.

MR. WILLIAM MOORE (Antrim, N.)

Will the hon. Gentleman have regard to the fact that South Donegal has the largest percentage of illiterates in the United Kingdom?
