HC Deb 11 July 1973 vol 859 c350W
59. Mr. Gurden

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what proposals he has to help the bondholders of Mersey Docks and Harbour Board to ease the heavy losses they have suffered.

Mr. Peyton

The best help for stockholders would be for all the new facilities at Seaforth Dock, which are being financed entirely by Government loans and grants, to become revenue-earning as quickly as possible.
