HC Deb 01 July 1965 vol 715 c130W
Mr. Michael Foot

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will now announce the Government's decision on the proposals for providing improved port facilities for iron ore imports into South Wales.

Mr. Swingler

Yes. It has been concluded that the balance of advantage lies with a decision to proceed with two independent port terminals, one at Port Talbot and the other near Newport. A White Paper on "Iron Ore Imports into South Wales" which sets out the reasons for this decision is being laid before Parliament today.
