§ 70. Mr. O'SHAUGHNESSYasked the Postmaster-General whether, if the required guarantee of £5 per annum be given for the evening collection of letters at Kilmacow by the Kilfinny (county Limerick) Co-operative Dairy Society, Limited, and a profit be made by the post office there owing to the increased postal facilities, the society will be credited with any profits that may arise as a set-off against and in reduction of the amount of the guarantee?
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELIf the local services become self-supporting, no payment would be asked from the guarantors, and if the local loss were less than £5 the guarantee would be reduced proportionately.
§ Mr. O'SHAUGHNESSYWill the right hon. Gentleman not demand this guarantee in advance, because I understood the £5 yearly was to be paid in advance, and we will accept the guarantee on the conditions he has laid down?
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELI will consider that.
