HC Deb 20 February 1963 vol 672 c61W
79. Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Minister of Transport if he will seek power to increase the amount of shipping between Aberdeen and London with a view to stimulating exports, industry and employment, and relieving the roads and railways of some of the traffic now on them.

Mr. Marples

No. Anyone who wishes can operate ships between Aberdeen and London without any exercise of powers on my part.
