HC Deb 19 April 1920 vol 128 cc10-1
14. Captain TERRELL

asked the Minister of Transport when he anticipates being able to provide facilities for the conveyance of livestock to the agricultural shows?

The MINISTER of TRANSPORT (Sir Eric Geddes)

I am not aware that there is any special difficulty regarding the rail conveyance of live stock to agricultural shows.

Captain TERRELL

May I ask the right hon. Gentleman whether he has forgotten the promise he made at the last General Election that he would supply an improved transport service for agricultural districts? When does he intend to do it?

Sir E. GEDDES

The service for agricultural districts has been steadily improving since the last General Election.

Captain TERRELL

Can you give me any evidence?

Sir E. GEDDES

I shall be glad to supply it to my hon. Friend.

Captain TERRELL

Thank you very much.
