§ 76. Mr. Gowerasked the Minister of Transport what consideration he has given to the possible damaging effects of certain recommendations of the 76W Rochdale Committee on the Port of Barry, where trade prospects have improved substantially in the last few years; and if he will give an undertaking that no step will be taken to close the docks at Barry.
§ Vice-Admiral Hughes HallettI am fully aware of the position at Barry and of the concern with which the Rochdale Committee's recommendations about the port are viewed locally. A decision on these recommendations must, however, await a Government decision on the principal proposals in the Rochdale Report.
