§ Mr. Wingfield Digbyasked the President of the Board of Trade what is his estimate of the loss to the balance of payments of the London dockers ban, for a year, on the use by British ships of the recently completed container terminal at Tilbury.
§ Mr. Goronwy RobertsThe full effect on the balance of payments cannot be computed. I understand that the additional overseas costs arising from transshipment at Continental ports are now running at about £2 million a year.
