HC Deb 30 April 1952 vol 499 c95W
83. Mr. Awbery

asked the Minister of Transport what percentage of the recommendations of the Working Party on the Turn-Round of Shipping and the improvements of our ports have been implemented; and when he hopes to put the remainder into effect.

Mr. Braithwaite

The Report of the Working Party on the Turn-Round of Shipping contained 26 general recommendations and 275 separate recommendations relating to individual ports. All these recommendations were investigated in conjunction with the interests concerned. The extent to which they could be and were put into effect varied, and a percentage analysis is, therefore, not possible, but the majority have been implemented in whole or in part.
