§ 115. Mr. Hector Hughesasked the Minister of Transport if he is aware that the delay in providing the projected pontoon dock for Aberdeen harbour is causing unemployment and loss there; whether the third meeting of the relevant Joint Working Party has yet been held; and if he will take urgent steps to expedite the provision and completion of this pontoon dock before the coming winter.
§ Mr. Marples:I must await the Supplementary Report from the Joint Working Party before decisions can be made about future dock facilities at Aberdeen. I am not aware of any loss of work due to the fact that the pontoon dock has not been replaced. The Working Party have so far held five meetings.
