asked the Postmaster- General who has the contract for carrying mails to Kames, Kyles of Bute; whether he is aware that the traders of that place are inconvienced by the letters being delivered late in the day; that the Glasgow and South-Western Company would be willing to run an evening steamer down and morning steamer up if they were given part of the mail contract; and that this would be a great advantage otherwise to the people there?

David Mac-Brayne, Limited, hold the contract for carrying mails to Kames. I am having inquiry made on the other points in the hon. Member's question, and I will acquaint him with the result.
