§ Mr. Hefferasked the Minister of Transport what conclusions were reached as a result of his discussion of the proposal to create a new off-shore island on Liverpool Bay with the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board during his recent visit.
§ Mr. MarshI am of course aware of this imaginative and forward-looking project which the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board is investigating with oil companies. Its work is, however, at far too early a stage for it to make any submission to me or for any conclusions to be reached. It told me when we met on 30th May that it will keep me informed as it goes along, and I await with interest the outcome of its studies.
