HC Deb 23 March 1967 vol 743 c318W
Mr. Wilkins

asked the Minister of Transport whether she will now accept the invitation from the Port of Bristol Authority to visit the city and docks early in April, and the suggestion made to her by the hon. Member for Bristol, South, to view from the air the adjacent Severn countryside designated for survey as a possible development area with an ultimate population of over a million people, in relation to the Port of Bristol Authority's proposals for deep water container berths at Portbury.

Mrs. Castle

I have accepted an invitation from the Port of Bristol Authority to visit Bristol on 14th April. I understand the Authority is arranging for a helicopter to be at hand, and if weather permits I shall be glad to view from the air as much of the Severnside area as will be possible in the time available.
