HC Deb 10 February 1969 vol 777 cc227-8W
Mr. Wellbeloved

asked the Minister of Transport what information he has been given as to the reason for the bottleneck in the London Docks which has delayed New Zealand meat shipments over the past month.

Mr. Marsh

Delays have been caused by labour difficulties, together with the bunching of ships and shortages of transport. The Port of London Authority, shipowners and other port employers, in collaboration with the meat trade are endeavouring to find a solution to the problem.
