Royal Naval Dockyards (Container Port Facilities)

HC Deb 19 April 1967 vol 745 cc89-90W

Mr. Judd

asked the Minister of Transport what consideration she has given to the adaptation of facilities at existing Royal Naval Dockyards and, in par- ticular, at Portsmouth Dockyard to modern civil container ports.

Mr. Swingler

My right hon. Friend is satisfied that adequate container port facilities can be provided without resort to the use of naval ports, which are in any case still required for naval purposes.
