§ MR. JOHN DEWAR (Inverness)To ask the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that, in consequence of the steamer "Lochiel" being frequently late in her arrival at Portree, the mails for Dunvegan and Uig are delayed; and will he communicate with the contractors for this service in order that a larger and faster steamer may be provided.
(Answered by Lord Stanley.) I will make inquiry respecting the circumstances under which the steamer "Lochiel" has been late in arrival at Portree, and the 884 result shall be communicated to the hon. Member as soon as possible.
