HC Deb 15 July 1970 vol 803 cc1525-6
55. Dr. Dickson Mabon

asked the Minister of Transport when he will announce formal approval of the second stage of development of the container terminal at Greenock as proposed to him by the Clyde Port Authority.

Mr. Peyton

As I indicated yesterday during the debate on the Second Reading of the Harbours (Amendment) Bill, I have authorised this scheme under Section 9 of the 1964 Act.—[Vol. 803, c. 1375.]

Dr. Dickson Mabon

I am obliged to the right hon. Gentleman. Will he bear in mind that if the second stage goes as well as the first it may not be very long before he receives an application for a third stage?

Mr. Peyton

I am so glad to have been able to please the hon. Gentleman.
