HC Deb 17 May 1961 vol 640 cc1373-4
47. Mr. Awbery

asked the Minister of Transport if he is aware that there are several vessels of 77,000 tons now under construction with a beam of 113 feet; how many dry docks in this country are capable of accommodating these vessels when they require under-water repairs; and what steps are being taken to provide repairing facilities for them.

The Joint Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Transport (Vice-Admiral Hughes Hallett)

Yes, Sir. There are at

line ends there is a notice which says "You May Now Pass"? Does he not think such notices are rather misleading?

Mr. Marples

If the hon. Lady will tell me which road she has in mind, I will look at those particular circumstances.
