§ MR. MCKEAN (Monaghan, S.)To ask the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that a letter posted in Carrickmacross, in the county of Monaghan, at 10.30 p.m. is not delivered in Belfast till 3.15 p.m. the following day; that up till a few months ago a letter posted at the hour mentioned would be delivered at 12 o'clock noon the next day; will he say why the arrangements for this speedier delivery have been discontinued; and whether he will consider the advisability, having regard to the increasing business requirements of the places referred to, of restoring the original arrangements or having some new and better ones made.
(Answered by Mr. Sydney Buxton.) I am making inquiry on this subject and will communicate the result to the hon. Member.
