§ 43. Sir T. Mooreasked the Minister of Transport how many cargo ships were discharged at Glasgow, Greenock and Ardrossan, respectively, during the month of January.
§ Mr. BarnesThree hundred and eleven cargo ships were discharged at Glasgow, 35 at Greenock and 28 at Ardrossan.
§ Sir T. MooreIn view of the well-known capacity of the port of Ardrossan to handle all appropriate traffic, would not the right hon. Gentleman save a considerable amount of money by using this port much more extensively?
§ Mr. BarnesI am afraid that people living in other ports could advance a similar reason.
§ Sir T. MooreThey might not be justified.
