HC Deb 09 January 1913 vol 46 c1372
77. Mr. AINSWORTH

asked whether the Postmaster-General's attention has been called to the fact that the service of the mails to the island of Tiree has recently been irregular and insufficient; whether he is aware that this is due to the substitution for the usual mail boat by Messrs. MacBrayne, the contractors, of a vessel incapable of carrying out the service satisfactorily, especially during the winter season; and what steps he proposes to take to improve the service?

Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL

My inquiries in this matter are not yet completed, but I will communicate with the hon. Member as soon as possible.
