HC Deb 03 June 1946 vol 423 cc263-4W
99. Captain Baird

asked the Minister of Transport if he will consider the use of tank landing craft, L.C.T.s, for the transport of omnibuses and other vehicles for the export market to the Continent, thereby helping to remove the bottleneck in cross-channel transport which is hampering our export trade.

Mr. Barnes

The hon. and gallant Member is incorrect in thinking that the export of vehicles from the United Kingdom is being hampered by a bottleneck in cross-channel transport. On the contrary, further vehicles could be accepted by existing services if offered.
