§ MR. FLAVINI beg to ask the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that applications have been made for a Sunday delivery of letters at Bally-duff (North Kerry) and that all the adjoining towns and villages are in the enjoyment of Sunday delivery of mails; and whether he will cause local inquiries to be made as to the alleged grievances in connection with the want of a Sunday delivery of letters.
§ THE POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Lord STANLEY,) Lancashire, WesthoughtonThe question of affording a Sunday delivery of letters at Ballyduff has, as the hon. Member is aware, been considered on several previous occasions, but owing to the high cost of the existing service it has not been practicable to afford the desired improvement. I shall, however, have pleasure in making further inquiry on that point in order to ascertain whether the present circumstances will admit of a compliance with the hon. Member's wishes. The result shall be communicated to him as soon as possible.
