107. Captain CRAIGasked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that in the district of Ballymacilroy, near Randalstown, County Antrim, which comprises over 50 families, there is only a three day per week delivery of letters: that great inconvenience is thereby caused to the inhabitants; that the furthest point of this district from Randalstown is only live and a half miles, and the distance from the nearest sub-post office at Whitesides Corner is only four miles; that on the day when there is no delivery the postman reaches Whitesides Corner at 11 o'clock and stays there till three, during which time he has nothing to do; that an hour or an hour and a half would suffice to deliver his letters; and whether, under these circumstances, he will arrange for a daily delivery in this district?
§ The ASSISTANT POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. Pike Pease)I am having enquiry made, and will communicate the result to the hon. Member.
