HC Deb 23 March 1976 vol 908 c118W
Mr. Moate

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will publish statistics showing the growth of roll-on—roll-off lorry movements through ports controlled by the British Transport Docks Board, in a form comparable to that adopted by the Dover Harbour Board in the publication of its relevant statistics.

Mr. Marks

Following is the information for Dover, Hull and Southampton. For reasons of commercial confidentiality separate statistics are not available for other ports controlled by the British Transport Docks Board.
