On the next occasion when the right hon. Gentleman visits Merseyside, will he arrange to make his peace with the unfortunate bondholders of Mersey Docks and Harbour Board stock who, unfortunately, suffered severe financial losses by virtue of a promise or a proposal by his previous administration to nationalise the docks industry, as a result of which the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board rather gave way to wishful thinking? Many constituents in the North-West have lost severely as a result of that, and I sincerely ask the right hon. Gentleman to make his peace with them.
