Lieut.-Commander HILTON YOUNGasked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware of the great difficulties that are being experienced by warehousemen and manufacturers at Norwich in obtaining deliveries of consignments of goods, especially from the Midlands, owing to delays and inadequate transport facilities on the railways; and what steps he proposes to take in order to remedy this state of affairs?
Sir RHYS WILLIAMSI am aware that delays are being experienced as a result of the congestion of the railways, and I can assure the hon. and gallant Member that the whole question is engaging the closest attention of the Ministry with a view to alleviating the position. No specific complaints have reached me regarding Norwich.
