91. Mr. CATHCART WASONasked the postmaster-General if he is aware of the fact that in many districts in Scotland the mails have to be conveyed on the Sabbath very long distances, sometimes over 30 miles, by road, without commensurate public advantage, and that owing to 1372 this the various sub-postmasters and mistresses are deprived of their weekly day of rest; and if, in considering the abolition of Sunday deliveries, he will take the above statement into consideration?
Mr. PEASEThe hon. Member may rest assured that the considerations to which he refers will not be overlooked.
