§ Dr. Marekasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what measures he is taking to improve conditions for fare-paying passengers on the crossing by the RMS St. Helena between St. Helena and Ascension Island.
§ Mr. RaisonI understand that the St. Helena Shipping Company is doing all it can to provide the best possible facilities on the RMS St. Helena, at a time of exceptionally high passenger demand on the inter-island service between Ascension Island and St. Helena. It is anticipated that the level of demand will decline after the next two or three voyages, as major construction work on Ascension Island is completed.
