32. Mr. W. Shepherd

asked the Minister of Transport what is the average time taken for a consignment of goods to come by goods train from Glasgow to London via the L.N.E.R. service.

Mr. Barnes

Three days, Sir.

Mr. Shepherd

Is the Minister aware that the average time is found by private traders to be nearer three weeks, and in many cases a month, and will he look into the services?

Mr. Barnes

Certainly.
