§ 60. Commander Sir E. NICHOLLasked the Minister of Transport if he will consider the early advisability of doubling the main line from Truro to Falmouth, in view of the growing importance of Falmouth as a ship-building and ship-repairing port, coaling station, and port of call for steamers landing and embarking passengers, seeing that the want of better railway facilities is seriously felt and has a great retarding effect on the growth and development of the port?
§ Sir ERIC GEDDESI am not aware that existing railway facilities have had any retarding effect upon the development of Falmouth as a port; but the Great Western Railway Company have under consideration additional running facilities on the line from Truro, and they have recently decided to add to the siding accommodation at Falmouth.
