§ Ir. Mr. Boothbyasked the Minister of Transport whether he will take steps to ensure an adequate fish passenger train service from Fraserburgh and Peterhead during the forthcoming herring fishing season.
§ Mr. BarnesArrangements have been made for special fish trains to be run regularly from Fraserburgh and Peterhead to Aberdeen, in addition to the scheduled trains, and the service will be augmented by other special trains, as and when the need arises. The regular fish services from Aberdeen to London, will be supplemented by special trains according to the need of the traffic. The railway company will also introduce, where traffic justifies, through vans from Peterhead and Fraser-burgh to certain centres in England, particularly in the extreme South.
§ Mr. BoothbyThank you very much.
