§ MR. THOMAS O'DONNELL (Kerry, W.)To ask the Postmaster-General whether he will explain why parcels addressed in Irish are surcharged to letter post rate by a recent rule of the Post Office; and whether private instructions are issued to Post Office authorities directing that such surcharges be made and that the parcels be delayed as much as possible.
(Answered by Lord Stanley.) There is no rule such as that which the hon. Member describes, nor have any such instructions been issued.
