§ MR. JOHN ELLISTo ask the Secretary to the Board of Trade what were the numbers out of the totals of 410 railway servants killed, and 3,882 railway servants injured, in 1904 from train accidents and movement of trains and vehicles, of goods guards and brakesmen, permanent way men, and shunters, respectively.
(Answered by Mr. Bonar Law.) The numbers, subject to possible slight alterations before the Returns are published, are as under:—
§ if he is aware of the necessity that exists for a better postal service at Glastrigan, North Tipperary; is he aware that there is an extensive creamery business carried on there, having two auxiliary depots, and that there are also three business houses in the village, with two schools adjacent, where some 150 children attend daily; that those establishments have little more than one hour daily to manage their correspondence, inasmuch as the single post arrives about 9 a.m. by a postal messenger who returns again to Borrisoleigh at 10.15 a.m.; and whether, seeing that the letters from the creamery alone average 80 per week, he will consider the necessity for the establishment of a sub-post office at Glastigran.
§ (Answered by Lord Stanley.) The inquiry which I promised the hon. Member last week is not yet complete. When it is complete I will communicate the result to him.
