HC Deb 03 August 1911 vol 29 c576
Mr. CARR-GOMM

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that early this morning a private firm was allowed to draft in a number of their own men to remove cheeses and other goods from the cold storage warehouses in the Surrey Commercial Docks; whether it is a fact that special facilities were given to this firm by the officials of the Port of London Authority; and whether he can make any statement on this matter.

The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of TRADE (Mr. Buxton)

The Board of Trade have no information on this subject. As far as I can judge from the question, the matter appears to be one purely for the Port Authority, over which I have no control.
