HC Deb 03 March 1955 vol 537 c2231
28. Mr. Teeling

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what shipping companies are being invited to meet officers of his Department to discuss day trips to the Continent without passports; when they are meeting; and if he will arrange for them to visit the ports in dispute.

Major Lloyd-George

In the first instance, Messrs. P. & A. Campbell Ltd. have been invited to discuss the matter, and it is hoped to arrange a meeting this week. I do not see that there is any reason to visit ports at this stage.

Mr. Teeling

Can my right hon. and gallant Friend tell me why P. & A. Campbell Ltd. are the only ones being asked? Is there any special reason for that?

Major Lloyd-George

The only reason is that they are the ones who have suggested a method of getting over the difficulties.
