HC Deb 22 November 1967 vol 754 c339W
34. Mr. Rossi

asked the President of the Board of Trade if, in view of the increased arrivals of transhipped ore, grain and other commodities formerly shipped direct to the United Kingdom, he will make a statement.

Mr. J. P. W. Mallalieu

Grain is the commodity principally affected, and it is estimated that something like one-eighth of our imports are transhipped.
