HC Deb 05 November 1969 vol 790 cc138-9W
Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that sea communications between Scandinavia and North-East Scotland are inadequate since the Swedish Lloyd Leffler line withdrew their fortnightly shipping services from Gothenburgh to Aberdeen last spring; and if he will state his plans to substitute other sea communications between Aberdeen and Scandinavia and the accomodation now availabe.
