HC Deb 19 July 1927 vol 209 c211
14. Mr. MacKENZIE LIVINGSTONE

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he will ascertain from the mail contractors the approximate date when they expect to have the proposed fast new commodious ship on the Stornoway service?

Sir J. GILMOUR

Yes, Sir; this will be done as soon as arrangements for a new contract have been substantially settled.

Mr. LIVINGSTONE

May I ask when that will be?

Sir J. GILMOUR

A meeting is taking place this week.

Mr. LIVINGSTONE

Will it be this year, or next year?

Mr. ERNEST BROWN

Some time, or never?
