HC Deb 05 July 1967 vol 749 c257W
Mr. Peter Walker

asked the Minister of Transport whether she has completed her consideration of the need for giving grants to encourage the container revolution not only at port terminals but also at inland depots; and if she will make a statement.

Mrs. Castle

In the light of current proposals for the provision of inland clearance depots to meet the needs, in particular, of container traffic, the Government do not consider that grants are needed to encourage the development of these depots.
