HC Deb 27 May 1946 vol 423 c132W
80. Mr. Callaghan

asked the Minister of Transport the present state of traffic at the ports of Liverpool and London and, particularly, whether he is satisfied that they are able to handle without congestion the present arrivals and departures of ships with cargo and in ballast.

Mr. Barnes

The present traffic at the ports of Liverpool and London is considerably less than in prewar years. Neither of these ports is working to capacity and I am satisfied that they are able to handle without congestion the present arrivals and departures of ships with cargo and in ballast.
