asked the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs if he is satisfied with the usage of the surface air lifted bulk parcel service which was introduced in September 1982.

: The answer is "yes". The progress of this service has been most satisfactory.

: Would the Minister consider further promotion of this service which I believe was introduced last September and which I understand was a great success? I know the Minister and I were very optimistic about it at that time. I should like to ascertain if it could be promoted further. I know the local postmasters are doing their best in relation to it.

: Both Deputies Leyden and Wilson know very well that this is a highly confidential area, that it would be wrong to give details concerning it, but from the results I see here it is an area in which further promotion would bring further results.
