HC Deb 08 February 1961 vol 634 c64W
76. Mr. Fletcher-Cooke

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will make a statement about the effects upon overseas trade of the strike of tally clerks at the Port of London.

Mr. Erroll:

As my right hon. Friend told his hon. Friend the Member for Chigwell (Mr. Biggs-Davison) on Monday, 19th December, some export business must have been lost altogether, but it is impossible to estimate how much, or how far late delivery of goods has affected the good will our exports enjoy abroad.
