Orders of the Day — Ports Bill (29 Apr 1970)

Hon. Anthony Berry: I confess that at that moment my friendly feelings towards my hon. Friend the Member for Hallam were rather less than my friendly feelings towards others of my hon. Friends. But there is always a happy end to most things. I should not have had an opportunity of moving the Amendment in the same wording had I not been deselected, or shot down, depending on which side of the House one is...

Orders of the Day — Ports Bill (29 Apr 1970)

Hon. Anthony Berry: I beg to move Amendment No. 129, in page 48, line 4, at end insert: (3) The authority may with the consent of the person carrying on a business apply for a vesting order with respect to any business at a harbour before the harbour is placed under the charge of the authority (but not before the establishment of a port board for the harbour), with a view to the order being made on the harbour...

Orders of the Day — Ports Bill (29 Apr 1970)

Hon. Anthony Berry: We have no objection to the Amendment. It is one of many Government Amendments put down following suggestions made by the Opposition. I can understand why the piece of paper showing the selection of Amendments was not big enough to take all the Government Amendments. I must point out that the last Amendment which we accepted was an Opposition Amendment.

Clause 33: Provision for Vesting Port Businesses in National Ports Authority (29 Apr 1970)

Hon. Anthony Berry: I beg to move Amendment No. 66, in page 48, line 45, at end insert: (8) Before making an order under subsection (1) above, the Minister shall arrange for public enquiries to be held in areas where substantial representations are made by local authorities or organisations representing workers or port users to the effect that the consequences of the transfer of the port businesses concerned to...

Clause 33: Provision for Vesting Port Businesses in National Ports Authority (29 Apr 1970)

Hon. Anthony Berry: The Joint Parliamentary Secretary got into a little trouble last night with that word and I had not intended to mention it out of the kindness of my heart. As attention has been drawn to it, I would point out that the same question was put to my hon. Friend the Member for Tavistock (Mr. Michael Heseltine). He reminded the House—

Clause 33: Provision for Vesting Port Businesses in National Ports Authority (29 Apr 1970)

Hon. Anthony Berry: The hon. Member for Bristol, North-West (Mr. Ellis) is in a state of completely unwarranted euphoria. I cannot understand why. I am sorry that he will not be with us in the next Parliament—he nearly lost his deposit at one point in Committee. I do not blame him for doing what he can in his last few speeches here. The Minister has already shown that he is making exceptions of certain types...

Clause 33: Provision for Vesting Port Businesses in National Ports Authority (29 Apr 1970)

Hon. Anthony Berry: My hon. Friend the Member for Glasgow, Cathcart (Mr. Edward M. Taylor) is right. The fact that the Government refused to accept Amendment No. 6 is an even stronger case for asking them to accept this one. Yesterday, the House unfortunately accepted that the National Ports Authority should take over the harbours.

Clause 33: Provision for Vesting Port Businesses in National Ports Authority (29 Apr 1970)

Hon. Anthony Berry: I am obliged to the hon. Member for Oldham, East (Mr. Mapp). It is a new experience to have Erskine May quoted at me and I enjoyed it. I am indebted to him for his close interest in my speech. The fact that Amendment No. 6 was not accepted yesterday—to my regret—emphasises the importance of No. 66. The Authority will have the responsible task of dealing with our harbours and ports...

Clause 33: Provision for Vesting Port Businesses in National Ports Authority (29 Apr 1970)

Hon. Anthony Berry: I am surprised that the right hon. Gentleman should consider organisations representing the workers in this industry to be classified as vague. The noises from the benches opposite have not given us that impression these last two days. I accept what the right hon. Gentleman says about the procedures already in the Bill but there is no way for organisations representing workers or port users...

Clause 34: Businesses Liable to Vesting (29 Apr 1970)

Hon. Anthony Berry: I beg to move Amendment No. 67, in page 49, line 10, leave out from ' thereto ' to end of line 17 and insert: 'with the exceptions of— (i) the loading or unloading of cargo which is carried out by the owners of the trading vessels or their subsidiaries;(ii) the loading or unloading of cargo which consists of one commodity and the process of unloading which is a specialised or unusual...

Clause 43: Pensions: Employees etc. of National Ports Authority, etc. (29 Apr 1970)

Hon. Anthony Berry: I am grateful to the Minister. I appreciate that, faced with the remarkable alliance which sprang up between both sides of the Committee—I do not know whether its members formed a group or an organisation, or whether they were still individuals—he had no alternative but to give in. This is an important step forward. We welcome it as a major concession which we played a major part in...

Schedule 12: Repeals (29 Apr 1970)

Hon. Anthony Berry: Compliments are flying across the Chamber. I agreatly appreciate what the hon. Member for Poplar (Mr. Mikardo) said about me. If I were to put on my election address what he said, I might have to pay £150 as well. It might not be understood, but I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman. I thank the Minister for his kind remarks about me, and for the courtesy which he and the Parliamentary...

Oral Answers to Questions — Transport: Ports (15 Jul 1970)

Hon. Anthony Berry: asked the Minister of Transport what plans he has for the reorganisation of the ports.

Oral Answers to Questions — Transport: Ports (15 Jul 1970)

Hon. Anthony Berry: Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that the decision not to go ahead with nationalisation of the ports will be welcomed by the public at large, particularly as it was to cost £70 million? Is he aware that among the smaller ports this will remove an element of uncertainty and that they will be particularly pleased about that?

Oral Answers to Questions — Transport: M4 (Middle Section) (15 Jul 1970)

Hon. Anthony Berry: asked the Minister of Transport when he expects the middle section of the M4 to be completed.

Oral Answers to Questions — Transport: M4 (Middle Section) (15 Jul 1970)

Hon. Anthony Berry: Is my hon. Friend aware that that will be very good news for many people, particularly those travelling to South Wales? Is he further aware that I have asked this question many times over the last three years but that now that I am in his capable hands I have no need to ask it again because the date will be kept?

Orders of the Day — Housing and Land ( 2 Nov 1972)

Hon. Anthony Berry: He is the Director-General.

Orders of the Day — Heavy Commercial Vehicles (Controls and Regulations) Bill ( 2 Feb 1973)

Hon. Anthony Berry: I am very pleased to be able to speak in support of the Bill, especially because it gives me the opportunity, after two years of enforced silence on the subject, to take part in a transport debate once again. Times have changed. In earlier debates I do not remember seeing quite so many nods of approval from right hon. and hon. Members opposite as there have been today. It is good to see that...

Orders of the Day — Ringway 3 (M16) (11 May 1973)

Hon. Anthony Berry: I congratulate the hon. Member for Enfield, East (Mr. Mackie) on having chosen this subject for debate. My constituents are very much affected by the absence of this road. Lorry traffic is getting heavier and not lighter. Lorries are coming from the A1 and the Ml, and heading down towards the docks through residential areas in Southgate, Hadley Wood and Cockfosters. They go through Chase...

Oral Answers to Questions — Greater London Council ( 8 Nov 1973)

Hon. Anthony Berry: When my right hon. Friend has such a meeting, will he impress upon the Leader of the GLC his extreme disappointment that the Chairman of the Inner London Education Authority has cancelled this year's Christmas carol service for children in London? Will he tell him that watching a television programme, however trendy, is no substitute for boys and girls taking part in singing Christmas carols?
