HC Deb 30 October 1911 vol 30 cc681-2W
Mr. MacVEAGH

asked the Postmaster-General if powers are being delegated to the secretary, Dublin, other than those granted to his subordinate surveyors; and, if so, whether they will include the making of Irish contracts for stores and the control of the engineering and stores departments in Ireland?

Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL

The Secretary in Dublin has wider powers than those conferred on the surveyors; but they do not include the making of contracts for stores for use in Ireland or for the control of the engineering and stores departments.
