§ 19. Sir J. Edenasked the Secretary of State for Transport whether he is satisfied that there is no unnecessary documentation hindering the shipment of lorry-carried goods from United Kingdom ports to elsewhere in Europe; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. William RodgersI think so, but if the right hon. Gentleman has a particular point in mind I will gladly consider it.
§ Sir J. EdenI am glad that the Minister thinks so. As that is so, will he give priority attention to the inadequacy of the quota of permits available to British lorries carrying goods to the Continent and also look urgently at the fact that British lorries are barred from arriving on the Continent with full fuel tanks?
§ Mr. RodgersThe answer is "Yes" to both questions.
