Fraserasked the Under-Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations if he will seek an assurance from the South African Government that Cape Town, Port Elizabeth, East London and Durham can handle the increased passenger freight and tanker ships which may be expected during the next few weeks bound to and from the United Kingdom.
