HC Deb 13 March 1905 vol 142 cc1219-20
MR. SLOAN

I beg to ask the Postmaster-General if he can now say to what extent he proposes to give greater facilities in the mail service between Belfast and London.

LORD STANLEY

I have not yet been able to arrive at a decision on this subject. The negotiations with the various railway companies are proceeding and there shall be no loss of time in dealing with the matter.

MR. SLOAN

Has the noble Lord any idea when a settlement may be expected?

LORD STANLEY

No, the negotiations are with railway companies, and I have no idea when they will conclude.

MR. T. W. RUSSELL

Will the noble Lord take into consideration the claims of other parts of Ulster in this matter?

LORD STANLEY

Yes, I am doing so.
