Bristol (Imports of Grain and Feedingstuffs)

HC Deb 22 March 1967 vol 743 c267W

76 and 77. Mr. Ellis

asked the Minister of Transport (1) what were the imports of grain and animal feedingstuffs though the port of Bristol for the last five years;

(2) what is her estimate of the amount of grain and animal feedingstuffs the port of Bristol will handle in the next three years.

Mr. Swinger

The Port of Bristol has provided me with the following details:

IMPORTS
Year	Grain	Feeding Stuffs
	(tons)	(tons)
1962	1,300,000	560,000
1963	900,000	490,000
1964	970,000	520,000
1965	950,000	490,000
1966	820,000	450,000

The authority does not expect the total tonnage handled in each of the next three years to vary significantly from those for 1966.
