HC Deb 07 June 1984 vol 61 cc243-4W
Mr. Spearing

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if, in pursuit of its policy encouraging waterborne transport, it is the intention of the London Docklands development corporation to encourage, or to ensure, the continued access to the royal group of docks of ships up to 800 ft in length.

Sir George Young

I understand that LDDC has no proposals to alter or to discourage the use of the King George V shiplock and other port equipment needed to enable ships that have hitherto been able to enter the royal docks to continue to do so. These installations are the responsibility of the Port of London Authority.
