HC Deb 05 February 1964 vol 688 c164W
94. Mr. J. Morris

asked the Minister of Transport what sanction of capital developments he has given to secure the re-equipment of the principal iron ore handling ports to take ships of an economic size, in view of the urgency attached to this by the Rochdale Committee.

Mr. Marples

There are two Bills now before Parliament seeking authority for the construction of new major ore terminals in South Wales and I understand that the normal hearings will start fairly soon.
