§ Mr. LINDSAY (by Private Notice)asked the Postmaster-General if he has considered the possibility of the immediate resumption of the parcels post to-and from Ireland, and, if so, with what result?
§ The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. Illingworth)As I have already stated, the space available in the ships at present running between Great Britain and Ireland is not sufficient to convey parcels, and if the acceptance of parcels at Post Offices were resumed they would have to accumulate until additional services are resumed. I am asking the Ministry of Shipping whether it is possible at present to restore any of the services which were discontinued with a view to coal economy.
§ Mr. LINDSAYI beg to give notice that I shall raise this question on the Motion for adjournment on Monday.
§ Mr. DEVLINWould it not be better for the ships to carry parcels, and not troops?
