HC Deb 12 April 1962 vol 657 cc160-1W
50. Sir C. Osborne

asked the Minister of Transport, in view of the proposal of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company to cease using the port of Liverpool as its main shipping terminal, and to transfer to a continental port, and in view of the need to stimulate trade, in particular the export trade, if he will take steps to increase efficiency in all United Kingdom ports towards this end.

Vice-Admiral Hughes Hallett
