HC Deb 01 July 1982 vol 26 cc378-9W
18. Mr. Foulkes

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what representations he has received regarding shipping services between Northern Ireland and Scotland.

Mr. David Mitchell

In May this year, Northern Ireland Ministers were approached by a company which expressed an intention to open a drive on-drive off ferry service between Belfast or Larne and Oban and Stornaway on a twice-weekly basis, and between Belfast and Heysham on a daily basis. The company has since made its intention public.
