HC Deb 06 July 1949 vol 466 c155W
Sir R. Glyn

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what has been the reduction in volume of goods conveyed by rail and road to Berlin, respectively, since the imposition of new restrictions by the Soviet authorities compared with similar figures of tonnages prior to the blockade of Berlin last year.

Mr. McNeil

Owing to the confused transport situation between Berlin and the Western zones, caused by the recent railway strike, it is not yet possible to provide the information asked for. When traffic is again flowing we shall be able to make the necessary estimates and I shall write the hon. Member.
