§ MR. DISRAELII beg to ask the Postmaster-General whether further inquiries have been made regarding the question of giving the township of Sale, near Manchester, increased postal facilities; and whether it is now possible to meet the wishes and convenience of the inhabitants, there and establish a late despatch from that office.
LORD STANLEYAs the hon. Member is aware, the time of posting at the Sale Post Office for the night mail has been extended from 9.0 p.m. to 9.20 p.m. This is considerably later than the time in many important districts nearer the City of Manchester, but I am going to arrange for a later post to be tried as an experiment in order to determine if there is any real demand for it.
