§ MR. SLOAN (Belfast, S.)I beg to ask the Postmaster-Genera] whether, in view of the inconvenience to the public of Belfast due to the failure of the department to provide a late-fee letter box convenient to the receiver at the front counter of the Belfast office, he will give instructions for the placing of such a box forthwith.
§ THE POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Lord STANLEY, Lancashire, Westhoughton)As stated in my reply to a similar Question asked by the hon. Member on the 17th of February,† 1904, a late-fee letter box is already provided in Garfield Street beside the large letter boxes for general posting. An additional late-fee box at the public counter seems unnecessary, and I am not aware that any inconvenience is occasioned by the absence of such a box.
§ MR. SLOANIs the noble Lord aware that the general public are continually asking where the box in Garfield Street is placed?
§ LORD STANLEYNo, Sir.
§ LORD STANLEYI have already done so.
