HC Deb 18 February 1931 vol 248 c1252W
Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

asked the Minister of Transport what is the position of the negotiations about the extension of the King George Dock, Hull; and, in view of the need for this extension, costing about £1,400,000, which the railway company owning the docks hesitate to spend, will he take steps to have the matter quickly settled?

Mr. HERBERT MORRISON

The railway company communicated with the Development (Public Utility) Advisory Committee with regard to this scheme nearly a year ago, but in reply to recent inquiries made by the committee, the company have stated that they are not yet in a position to say whether they will be able to proceed with the work in the near future.
