§ Mr. David Priceasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list the 10 United Kingdom ports which in 1972 had the largest turnover in roll-on/roll-off traffic; and what plans he has to link those 10 ports to the United Kingdom motorway system.
§ Mr. PeytonFigures for 1972 are not yet available. In 1971 the 10 United Kingdom ports which handled the largest tonnage of roll-on-/roll-off traffic were 323W London, Dover, Southampton, Liverpool, Preston, Clyde, Hull, Immingham, Felix-stowe and Harwich. All these ports are expected to be connected by high-quality links to the national strategic trunk road network by 1978, and in most cases well before then.
