HC Deb 04 June 1951 vol 488 c70W
96. Mr. Erroll

asked the Minister of Transport what steps he is taking to minimise the dislocation to cargo shipping caused by the Government's newly introduced stockpiling programme.

Mr. Barnes

I maintain close contact with the importing Departments concerned in order to ensure that shipments of materials for stockpiling are arranged without detriment to other essential shipping programmes.
