§ Mr. Butcherasked the Minister of Transport whether he will give the names of the dock and harbour authorities who have applied to him since 1st January, 1946, under Defence Regulation 56, for authority to increase dues and charges levied by them; and whether he will give the result of such applications, indicating the increases authorised in each case.
§ 1951 Mr. BarnesThe following statement shows the names of the dock and harbour authorities who have applied to me since 1st January, 1946, under Defence Regulation 56, for authority to increase dues and charges levied by them. Where an order was made authorising the increases applied for, wholly or in part, the reference to the order is given. In other cases, the application was refused or not pursued or is still under consideration. In view of the number and variety of the charges involved and the varying percentages often applied to different charges, it is not practicable to indicate in the statement the increases authorised in each case, but I am sending the hon. Member copies of all the Increase of Charges Orders mentioned.
