HC Deb 12 February 1913 vol 48 cc990-1W
Mr. WATT

asked time Postmaster-General what is the special payment which the Glasgow and South-Western Railway Company insist upon before continuing their evening run to Tighnabruaich in the winter months; would he be prepared to pay part of it if the traders and others of the locality paid the balance; and would it be compatible with the rules of his Department that a steamer should do the journey only twice or thrice per week and yet get a share of the mail contract?

Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL

I will make inquiry into the circumstances and inform the hon. Member of the result.
