HC Deb 20 October 1954 vol 531 cc180-1W
107. Major Anstruther-Gray

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation whether recent reports which he has received from the Transport Commission of progress made in improving the ferry service at Queensferry enable him to name a date by which the new and improved service will be in operation.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

I am informed by the British Transport Commission that the best estimate which can be made at present is that work on the piers will be completed at the end of next year, and the new ferry vessel will be delivered early in 1956.
