§ Q4. Mr. Awberyasked the Prime Minister if he will appoint a Minister of Shipping.
§ The Prime MinisterNo. For the reasons given in my reply on 23rd July to a Question by my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Macclesfield (Sir A. V. Harvey), it is appropriate in present 165W circumstances that responsibility for surface transport, whether by land or by sea, should remain in the hands of one Minister.
