HC Deb 14 March 1904 vol 131 c994
MR. O'DOWD

I beg to ask the Postmaster-General whether a memorial signed by the inhabitants of Riverstown, county Sligo, calling for a mid-day delivery of mails in that town has been received by him; whether he is aware that the central distributing station of Ballymote is only seven miles distant, and that letters arriving there by the mid-day limited mail train are not delivered in Riverstown until the following day; and whether, in view of these facts, arrangements will be made by which the postal facilities asked for can be granted.

LORD STANLEY

I have not yet received a memorial asking for a midday delivery of letters at Riverstown, county Sligo, but inquiry shall be made on the subject and an answer sent to the hon. Member.

MR. O'DOWD

But the memorial was sent last September.

LORD STANLEY

I can only say I have not seen it.
