HC Deb 16 December 1953 vol 522 c49W
7. Mr. R. Robinson

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is aware of the shortage of dry dock facilities at Port of Spain, Trinidad; and whether he will take steps to have in stalled a second slipway so that adequate facilities for ship repairing will be available.

Mr. Lyttelton

Yes. A committee appointed by the Trinidad Government to examine shipbuilding and repairing facilities in the island has recently reported. The report, which advocates a second slipway, is being considered by that Government.
