HC Deb 23 March 1979 vol 964 cc137-8W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Transport whether he is now able to give details of what action the Government propose to take to maintain and develop the London docks and to protect the employment of the workers therein; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. William Rodgers

Not at the moment. I am awaiting further proposals from the Port of London Authority which I understand it is currently discussing with the trade unions.
