§ DR. AMBROSE (Mayo, W.)To ask the Postmaster-General if he will state the number of English, Scotch, and Welshmen who have been appointed postmasters in Ireland within the last five years; what are their religious denominations; how many Irishmen have been appointed postmasters in England in the same period: and what are their religious denominations.
(Answered by Lord Stanley.) In most cases I have no information as to the nationality of officers in the Post Office, and I consider that it would be undesirable to make inquiry as to their religious denomination. I am unable, therefore, to give the information for which the hon. Member asks.
