HC Deb 18 March 1946 vol 420 cc280-1W
79 Mr. Peter Freeman

asked the Minister of War Transport whether, pending the repair of the Weston pier, it is possible to re-open the remainder of the steamship service between South Wales and other Bristol channel ports

Mr. Barnes

Yes, Sir, as far as is practicable with the ships available to the steamship company. Two vessels are now being reconditioned for the service, and a third is under construction It is hoped that one vessel will be ready by Easter to resume a service between Bristol, Cardiff and other ports in the area.
