§ MR. HAVILAND BURKE (King's County, Tullamore)To ask the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that the proprietors of the Midland Tribune newspaper, published in Birr, King's County, are subjected to annoyance and inconvenience by the fact that the London General Post Office authorities insist that the English translation of the title of a Gaelic supplement, Dun na n Gaedheal 644 published by them in connection with the Midland Tribune, must be printed at the head of each page; and whether he will take steps to prevent a recurrence of this interference with their publications.
§ (Answered by Mr. Sydney Buxton.) The, newspaper in question, bearing an English title, but accompanied by a supplement with a Gaelic title only, was submitted for registration at the General Post, Office under The Post Office Act, 1870. That Act requires the title of the newspaper to be printed at the top of every page of any supplement. It is necessary, therefore, if it is desired to register the newspaper and its supplement under the Act, that it should conform with the Law.
