§ 66. Mr. Goodhewasked the Minister of Transport what progress he is making in his attempts to bring about an end to the delays at London Docks.
§ Mr. Tom FraserI am glad to say that the position in London is improving, thanks to the efforts of the Port of London Authority and of other parties concerned. The Authority has taken special measures directed towards minimising congestion and ensuring that the best use is made of the available resources. Following the series of meetings between senior Government officials and representatives of the ports, industry and shipping, certain steps are being taken which I hope will contribute towards relieving the present difficulties and will also be of long-term value.
