TRAFFIC BETWEEN LONDON AND DUBLIN.

HC Deb 05 July 1916 vol 83 cc1543-4W

Mr. FIELD

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that Dublin merchants complain of the difficulty in obtaining transit of goods to Dublin, especially from London, and that greater obstacles are placed in the traffic between London and Dublin than is customary between other British centres and Dublin; and will he say what action he will take?

Mr. HARCOURT

I am not aware that the conveyance of traffic between London and Dublin has been subjected to any avoidable restrictions as compared with traffic between other British centres and Dublin. I will, however, look into the matter, and communicate with my hon. Friend in due course.
