Is the hon. Gentleman aware that of the ships sailing from Great Britain to Northern Ireland none was full owing to the unfortunate results of the sailing ticket system, which also caused great hardship to many people? As there are ships to spare on the cross Channel routes to the Continent, and as there will probably be more, cannot he have some of those transferred to the routes to Ireland, in order to give us, at last and for once, a fair share of the shipping, for the sake of the people going to Ireland for their holidays?
