§ Mr. Kingasked the Minister of Transport if he is aware of the concern which is being caused by the small number of ships which are now being discharged at Penryn; and whether he will take steps to remedy this situation.
§ Mr. BarnesIt is not within my power to remedy the reduction of imports and the shortage of suitable vessels from which Penryn and other small ports are suffering. I have, however, been in communication with the Timber Control of the Board of Trade, who recently arranged for a vessel to discharge timber cargo at Penryn.
