HC Deb 19 October 1915 vol 74 c1615
91. Mr. CATHCART WASON

asked the Postmaster-General if he is aware that the direct mail service between Aberdeen and Lerwick is practically suspended, and that passengers from Aberdeen to Lerwick are taken round by Orkney, special care being taken that they shall not land there for any purpose; and if, in view of the delay and loss caused by this arrangement, he will endeavour to restore the direct service as soon as possible?

Mr. SAMUEL

I regret that I cannot at present add anything to the answer which I gave to the hon. Member on the 14th October.

Mr. WASON

Will the right hon. Gentleman, at any rate, give the Lerwick County Council, who are very much interested in the matter, full particulars of any arrangements he makes?

Mr. SAMUEL

I will take into consideration the suggestion of my hon. Friend.
