§ 70. General McCALMONTasked the Postmaster-General whether an unusually small limit has been placed on the radius of delivery of telegrams from Islandmagee Post Office, county Antrim; whether he is aware that many residents who receive a daily postal delivery from that office have to receive telegrams from Larne Harbour office, necessitating a crossing by privately-owned ferry, which is neither regular nor independent of the weather; and whether, in view of the number of residents who are connected with seagoing professions, he will arrange that their telegrams are delivered by the quickest available route?
§ The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. Illingworth)Inquiry is being made, and I will let my hon. Friend know the result as soon as possible.
