Hovercraft Service (Great Britain—Northern Ireland)

HC Deb 05 December 1969 vol 792 cc402-3W

Lord Hamilton

asked the Minister of Transport if British Railways has now reported to him on its investigation into the feasibility study of a hovercraft service between Great Britain and Northern Ireland; and when he will make public the findings of this study.

Mr. Murray

No. I understand that the Railways Board has carried out such a survey for its own purposes, but there is no reason why it should have reported on it to my right hon. Friend.
