HC Deb 27 February 1936 vol 309 c685W
Mr. ERSKINE HILL

asked the Minister of Transport whether he can state the number of occasions during the last six months when either of the two ferry boats operating between North and South Queens-ferry were prevented from making the scheduled crossing, either because of the weather conditions or for any other reasons?

Mr. HORE BELISHA

I am informed that from the 4th August, 1935, to the 1st February, 1936, both dates inclusive, the ferry boats missed 120 trips out of the 11,648 which should have been made according to schedule.
