§ MR. T. L. CORBETT (Down, N.)To ask the Postmaster-General whether he is in a position to make any statement as to the requests made by the Newtownards Urban District Council with 162 reference to the postal facilities in the letter written by the town clerk on April 12th.
(Answered by Mr. Sydney Buxton.) I am glad to say I have been able to meet the wishes of the Newtownards Urban District Council, and I have given instructions (1) for the first delivery at that place to be accelerated by thirty minutes, (2) for an additional postman to be employed upon this delivery, with the view of reducing the loads of the men employed on the duty, and (3) for the mail arriving at Newtownards at 6.10 p.m. from the Ards district to be delivered the same evening.
