HC Deb 16 February 1966 vol 724 cc262-3W
Mr. Palmer

asked the Minister of Transport when she received a letter from the Chairman of the Port of Bristol Authority setting out in detail arguments and figures in favour of the development of Portbury as a major contribution to British port facilities for the export trade; what reply she has sent; and whether she will make a statement, in view of the representations being made to her on behalf of South Wales port interests.

Mr. Swingler

I received this letter on 8th February and replied thanking the Chairman of the Authority for setting out these important points.

On the last part of the Question, I have nothing to add at this stage to the Answer given to the hon. Member for Bristol, West (Mr. Robert Cooke) on 9th February.
