HC Deb 07 April 1910 vol 16 c773W
Mr. MUNRO

asked if, considering the cost of conveyance of mails from Gills Bay to Scapa, as compared with the cost of their conveyance from Scrabster to Scapa, the Postmaster-General will take into account the fact that the distance between Gills Bay and Scapa is much less than the distance between Scrabster and Scapa, and that, owing to more favourable conditions of tide, the time occupied in the crossing would be reduced by at least one-third?

Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL

The inquiries I am making will cover these points.
