§ MR. LIDDELL (Down, W)I beg to ask the Postmaster-General what are the present arrangements for the delivery and despatch of letters in the Annaclone postal district, county Down; and whether, seeing that the district affected by the present system is nearer to Banbridge than Rathfriland, that it is dependent largely on its trade and business relations with the former town, and that a great many letters are addressed with Banbridge instead of Rathfriland for this district, he can say what additional expenditure, if any, would be involved if Banbridge, which is only five miles from Annaclone, was made the head office instead of Newry, which is fourteen miles distant as the letters are now carried.
§ MR. SYDNEY BUXTONInquiry is being made on this subject and I will communicate the result to the hon. Member in due course.
