HC Deb 03 May 1978 vol 949 cc150-1W
30. Mr. Budgen

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what criteria he intends to adopt in his plans to extend nationalisation of the ports.

Mr. William Rodgers

I have no plans for the present Session of Parliament, but the public interest in terms of the efficiency of the industry and the proper use of national resources will be the determining factor.
