HC Deb 05 July 1948 vol 453 cc5-6W
38. Mr. Peter Freeman

asked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware of the long delay often occurring on the Aust-Beachley Ferry over the Severn; and pending the erection of the new bridge if he will arrange for two or more boats to operate regularly.

Mr. Callaghan

Yes, Sir. But it has now been possible to man a second vessel and so enable a 30-minute service to be provided on four days a week subject to interruptions due to the tides.
