HC Deb 07 April 1970 vol 799 c47W
Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Minister of Transport if he will make a statement on the nature and progress of the work undertaken by the Government to improve and enlarge the potentialities and modernisation of Aberdeen Harbour.

Mr. Murray

Improvements are the responsibility of the Aberdeen Harbour Board. It has reconstructed Blaikie's Quay with the help of grants from my right hon. Friend totalling £190,000. I understand my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Scotland is granting £60,000 towards improvements in the fishery section of the harbour, where further developments are being considered.
