§ 66. Sir C. Osborneasked the Minister of Transport in view of the fact that the container deck at Tilbury now turns round ships with 15 men in 12 hours against 12 days with 100 men under the old system, what steps he is taking to secure the adoption of this modern system of handling cargo in all British ports.
§ Mr. CarmichaelMy right hon. Friend has approved about 15 container berths so far, including those at Tilbury. The initiative for further developments of this kind rests with port authorities.
