§ MR. FFRENCH (Wexford, S.)I beg to ask the Postmaster-General, in view of a statement in the General Post Office Regulations Book that the charge for a private box varies from £2 2s. to £3 a year at the larger post offices, but that at the smaller offices the amount is £1 1s. a year, he will say whether the charge of £2 2s. is made all over the three Kingdoms in towns of the same population as Wexford, about 11,000; and, if not, can he explain why the payment for a private box was increased from £1 1s. to £2 2s. on Messrs. Pierce and Company, Wexford, Cycle Works.
§ THE POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. SYDNEY BUXTON,) Tower Hamlets, PoplarYes, Sir. The fee for a private box is now £2 2s. a year at all head offices of the size of Wexford.
