§ MR. J. P. FARRELL (Longford, N.)I beg to ask the Postmaster - General whether any further steps have been taken to provide the largely-populated districts of Cloonagh and Aghnacliffe with a telegraph service.
§ THE POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Lord STANLEY, Lancashire, Westhoughton)The matter rests with the hon. Member himself. As I have informed him more than once, I am willing to open telegraph offices at Cloonagh and Aghnacliffe if guarantees are given for those offices. A guarantee has been promised for Dring, and I am taking steps to have that guarantee executed.
§ MR. J. P. FARRELLThe objection is the Dring route. We are quite willing to give a guarantee if that is withdrawn.
§ LORD STANLEYI think the objection is unreasonable.
