§ Mr. Shoreasked the Minister of Transport if he will publish up-to-date figures for British export traffic arriving by road and rail at London docks given in the "Third Report of the Ports Efficiency Committee 1956", paragraph 15; and if he will publish similar figures for the years 1954 to 1964 for the other major ports for which figures are available.
§ Mr. Tom FraserThe figures for export traffic handled by the Port of London Authority over its quays in 1964 are:
- Total 2,586,000 tons
- Railborne—305,000 tons (12 per cent.) (including traffic carried on railway road vehicles).
- Roadborne—2,281,000 tons (88 per cent.).
Similar figures are not readily available for other ports, but I will write to my hon. Friend.
