14. Lieut.-Commander Clark Hutchisonasked the Minister of Transport if he is yet in a position to make a statement about the resumption of the ferry service between Granton and Burntisland.
§ Mr. BarnesThis ferry was operated by the London and North Eastern Railway Company, under statutory powers. Under the Private Legislation Procedure (Scotland) Act, 1936, the company has promoted a provisional order for its abandonment, which is at present under consideration in accordance with the procedure laid down by that Act.
§ Sir William DarlingCan the Minister contemplate the installation of a free ferry across the Forth, as has already been arranged at Woolwich across the Thames?
§ Mr. BarnesThat appears to be raising another matter.
