HC Deb 20 July 1976 vol 915 c405W
19. Mr. Brittan

asked the Secretary of State for Employment whether he is satisfied with the current employment situation in the docks.

Mr. Harold Walker

No. As well as the trade recession which has affected the docks as other industries, changes in cargo handling techniques and patterns of shipping continue to have, particularly in some ports, a serious effect on employment.
