HC Deb 29 March 1968 vol 761 cc349-50W
Mr. Ian Lloyd

asked the Minister of Transport how many applications she has received and authorised for the installation of large diameter storage silos with a capacity in excess of 40,000 tons, details of which have been sent to her.

Mr. Carmichael

None of this type, though silos with a total capacity of over 40,000 tons have been authorised as part of the Tilbury grain terminal (105,000 tons), are in use at Glasgow Meadowside (an 80,000 ton extension was opened in May, 1967), and are included in the proposals for the Seaforth grain terminal (50,000 tons) and Fowey china clay export development.
