§ 74. Mr. MORTONasked the right hon. Gentleman whether he can make arrangements for a midnight passenger service between Inverness and Perth, for the convenience of those persons travelling from places North of Inverness?
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELI have no power to require the Highland Railway Company to provide for the conveyance of passengers, and I have no funds at my disposal for the purpose. As regards the conveyance of mails I would refer the hon. Member to my answer to a question asked yesterday by the hon. Member for Orkney and Shetland.
Mr. CATHCART WASONDo not the Post Office invariably, in every contract that is made, provide that facilities should be given to passengers?
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELNo, Sir, by no means.
