§ MR. FIELDTo ask the Postmaster-General whether he can state under what circumstances are officials of the General Post Office, Dublin, allowed to visit the mail contractors' premises; and if it is with the concurrence of the Postmaster-General that an officer of the General Post Office is in attendance at the contractors' office several evenings each week.
(Answered by Mr. Sydney Buxton.) My officers visit the contractors' premises whenever necessary; but it is not the practice for an officer to attend at the contractors' offices several evenings each week.
