HC Deb 21 July 1947 vol 440 cc852-3
35. Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

asked the Minister of Transport why, on Saturday, 7th June, 20 cases' of radio apparatus consigned for shipment by s.s. "Johilla" were not permitted to be loaded on the said ship at Royal Albert Docks, London, although space had been allocated to them in the ship; and what action is being taken by his Department to prevent a recurrence of such happenings.

Mr. Barnes

I have no information, and I cannot find that the shipping line concerned or the Port of London Authority have any knowledge of the incident.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

If I furnish the right hon. Gentleman with that information, which his colleague the President of the Board of Trade apparently thought that the right hon. Gentleman had, will he look into it?

Mr. Barnes

Certainly.
