HC Deb 31 March 1952 vol 498 c93W
67. Mr. Perkins

asked the Minister of Transport whether, in view of the excellent facilities and the quick turn-round of ships at Sharpness Docks, he will consider making more use of this port.

Mr. Maclay

Such powers as I have with regard to the compulsory direction of shipping could not properly be used for the purpose to which my hon. Friend refers.
