HC Deb 08 December 1947 vol 445 c135W
113. Mr. Hubbard

asked the Minister of Transport if he is aware that a Danish steamer recently discharged a cargo of Polish coal at Leith to be transported by rail to Dundee; and why this coal was not shipped direct.

Mr. Callaghan

Because all the cargo was not intended for Dundee. It was only one of 13 depots on the London, Midland and Scottish, and London and North Eastern Railways, to which this coal was distributed.
