HC Deb 11 June 1973 vol 857 c231W
38. Sir J. Langford-Holt

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will take steps designed to reverse the drift of tonnage from London to Antwerp, Rotterdam and other competing continental ports; and if he will make a statement on the reasons for recent loss of business.

Mr. Peyton

Movement of trade between ports is in general influenced by the degree to which customers' requirements are met.
