§ Mr. Tebbitasked the Secretary of State for Transport why his assurances given in a radio interview on the BBC programme "The World at One" on Sunday 14th January that the cargo of brussels sprouts owned by Mr. Mullard of Boston would not be obstructed by pickets were proved by events to be unjustified.
§ Mr. William Rodgers:I understand the problem with this cargo arose because it was not despatched from Boston although the intended destination was and remained free of pickets. The question of obstruction by pickets did not therefore arise.
