§ Mr. AMMONasked the Postmaster-General why his Department has asked for the mail sailings between the Isle of Man and Liverpool to be changed from day to night sailings; whether the proposed times of arrival and departure at Douglas can be furnished; the reasons which have actuated the Post Office in requesting the change of sailings; whether he is prepared to consult with the staff; and whether he has taken any steps to obtain public opinion on the island as to the suggested change?
§ Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSONNo such request has been made by my Department, and the other parts of the question do not therefore arise.
