HC Deb 07 June 1967 vol 747 c212W
65. Mr. George Jeger

asked the Minister of Transport whether she will give a general direction to the British Railways Board, in the public interest, to review its policy of closing its shipping services to Europe and to Ireland on the grounds of their unprofitability, in view of the success of other shipping lines which have moved in to replace them.

Mr. John Morris

No. This is essentially for the Railways Board's commercial judgment. Their shipping services to Europe and to Ireland seem to be developing soundly.
