Mr. C. WASONasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Shipping Controller if his attention has been directed to the fact that the Northern Isles, Orkney, are extremely badly off, as no steamer now runs from Kirkwall to North Ronaldshay, Ramsay, and Egilsham; and if he will endeavour to co-operate with the Orkney Steam Navigation Company in getting communication established with as little delay as possible?
§ Sir CHIOZZA MONEYThe matter has engaged the attention of the Shipping Controller for some time past, and I am glad to say that an arrangement has recently been made with the Orkney Steam Navigation Company for a weekly service.
