HC Deb 12 July 1967 vol 750 c75W
59. Mr. Gwilym Roberts

asked the Minister of Transport what investigation she is making of the future need for hover-ports capable of handling large hover-ships on both the east and west coasts of Great Britain.

Mrs. Castle

I would refer my hon. Friend to the Answer given today to the hon. Member for the Isle of Thanet (Mr. Rees-Davies) concerning proposals for hover-ports on the south-east coast. It is not practicable to make detailed studies of the need for hover-ports for still larger craft until there are definite proposals for their construction and use.
