GOFFasked the Minister of Transport whether, in view of the negotiations which have recently been going on between the Tees Conservancy Commission, the Tees Frontagers, the Middlesbrough Chamber of Commerce, and the London and North Eastern Railway Company, he can state the attitude of the Ministry of Transport if all these bodies are agreed upon the site of the proposed docks at the mouth of the Tees which the railway company has already begun?
