§ MR. WEIRI beg to ask the Postmaster-General, in view of the fact that, on the 7th July last, the delivery of letters from the post office at Tain, Ross-shire, after the morning delivery, was suspended on the ground that it was a public holiday, and that a resident who called at the post office for the purpose of obtaining his letters was told that no search could be made for them unless he paid a fee of threepence, will he consider the expediency of making such arrangements as will enable the public, when deliveries have been thus suspended from any post office in the United Kingdom, to obtain their letters on week days free of all charge by calling at the post office during the hours it is open for public business.
LORD STANLEYI doubt if there is any real need for the concession suggested by the hon. Member, but I will consider the question.
