HC Deb 13 March 1957 vol 566 c187W
Mr. Awbery

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what further consultations he has had with the oil industry and the port authorities on the provision of dock and dry-dock accommodation for the large oil tankers of 60,000 and 80,000 tons which are now under construction or in contemplation.

Mr. Watkinson

I have myself held discussions with the interests concerned with Milford Haven, and important developments are in prospect there. A number of schemes at other places, including those to which I referred in my Answer on 5th December to my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Horn-castle (Commander Maitland), are also being actively pursued in consultation with my Department and the Admiralty.
