HC Deb 26 January 1956 vol 548 c346
17. Mr. Russell

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that exports to British East Africa are at a great disadvantage compared with those of continental and other Commonwealth countries owing to port and shipping delays; and if he will consult with the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation with a view to overcoming these difficulties.

Mr. P. Thorneycroft

I am indeed aware of the complaint referred to by my hon. Friend, and my Department is in consultation with other Departments with a view to relieving the situation.
