asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce whether he has yet considered the recommendations of the Ports and Harbours Tribunal issued in 1930; whether he proposes to accept these recommendations in whole or in part; and, if so, when proposals for legislation embodying these reforms in harbour administration will be introduced.
