DOCKS (Hansard, 16 June 1972)

HC Deb 16 June 1972 vol 838 c1997 1997

§ 11.5 a.m.

§ Mr. Harold Wilson
On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. May I ask whether you have been given notice of any intention by the Government to make a statement this morning on the situation in the docks?

§ Mr. Speaker
No. I have received no such information.

§ Mr. Wilson
Then may I ask the only resident of the Government Front Bench, the Minister for Trade, if he will communicate urgently to the Government the need for a statement? We understand the sub judice position, on which the House has not yet ruled, but we want to know what the Government will do to safeguard supplies. Surely this morning the Government should have made a statement?
