Nationalisation Of Ports Coming
fNZPA.-Reuter—Copyright) I LONDON, June 28. | The British Deputy ; Prime Minister (Mr I George Brown), made it clear today that the Government ultimately intended to nationalise Britain’s ports, with dockers taking part in management. Nationalisation was not; “just around the corner,” he
[told a press conference, but a I bill on port re-organisation I would be introduced during the present Parliament—which has nearly five years to run. The Government has accepted the' broad principles of a Labour Party study group report, which suggests appointment of regional port authorities to act as sole employers of dock labour and operators of port services. They would act under a national ports authority. Ministers accepted the principle of workers’ participation, Mr Brown said. The Minister of Transport (Mrs Barbara Castle) today announced Government aid of £l3 million a year to help with the cost of new and modernised facilities to quicken cargo handling.
