§ MR. FLAVINI beg to ask the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that inconvenience is caused in and around Ballyduff, North Kerry, by the fact that there is no Sunday delivery of mails, while local places receiving less mail matter have a Sunday delivery; and, if so, whether he has made local inquiries and will accede to the request of the general public and grant a Sunday service.
§ THE POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN,) Worcestershire, E.When the question of affording a Sunday post to Ballyduff, North Kerry, was considered last year, it was found that the cost of the existing service on week days as compared with the amount of correspondence was so high that additional expense for the purpose of establishing a Sunday post was not warranted. I will, however, make further inquiry in order to ascertain whether it is now 936 possible to provide a Sunday post to Ballyduff, and I will communicate the result to the hon. Member as soon as possible.
§ MR. FLAVINSeeing that other places in the immediate district which usually receive the same number of letters get a Sunday delivery, will the right hon. Gentleman make local inquiries as to the necessity?
§ MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAINYes, Sir.
