HC Deb 27 October 1947 vol 443 c27W
100. Mr. Osborne

asked the Minister of Transport if he is aware that ships have been waiting for days in the river Humber because the Victoria Dock, Hull, was too crowded, while at the same time there have been empty berths at Immingham and Grimsby; and why such shipping is not diverted to these two ports.

Mr. Callaghan

My right hon. Friend's information does not confirm this, but I shall be glad to look into any particular cases the hon. Member has in mind, if he will send me details.
