HC Deb 03 March 1947 vol 434 cc13-4W
81. Mr. Cobb

asked the Minister of Transport whether, in view of the increasing danger from heavy ice, an icebreaker is available for use in the Thames estuary or what steps are being taken to obtain one.

Mr. Barnes

There are no ice-breaking vessels in the Port of London. The Port of London Authority is in touch with the Admiralty regarding the possibility of heavy ice in the Thames approaches and would have their advice and assistance i[...] there were any risks.
