§ Mr. HOODasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Shipping Controller whether he is aware of the inability to carry out road maintenance work in the borough of Wimbledon owing to the impossibility of obtaining granite from Guernsey, because steamers which habitually carried stone cargoes, after discharging coal at Guernsey, now return in ballast for coal ports, and whether he will make arrangements for the conveyance of the granite to English ports at a reasonable rate of freight?
Colonel WILSONI would refer my hon. Friend to the replies which I gave yesterday to the right hon. Member for East Woolwich and the hon. and gallant Member for Faversham, on the subject of the conveyance of granite from the Channel Islands.
