§ MR. BARRIE (Londonderry, N.)I beg to ask the Postmaster-General whether he will state what were the annual Returns of postal matter dealt with in Limavady post office from 1895 to 1906 inclusive.
§ MR. SYDNEY BUXTONThe complete Returns of postal matter dealt with at the Limavady office for the years in question are not available. The delivered correspondence, however, showed a fairly steady increase from 1895 till 1905, since which date it has fallen off.
§ MR. SLOANThen it was not because of a decrease of work that the office was reduced from the status of a head office?
§ MR. SYDNEY BUXTONNo, but because it was thought that better control could be exercised from Deny.
