Amajor extension of the King George Dock
at Hull, costing £6.75m., and large-scale improvements of dock facilities at Newport (Monmouthshire? costing £2.5m., to be carried out by the British Transport Docks Board, have been authorized by the Minister of Transport as part of the national plan of port developments. Both schemes were recommended by the National Ports Council in their interim plan, published last July.
Mrs. Castle has also put in hand short comparative studies of the proposed £27m. Portbury scheme at Bristol and possible alternatives.
Construction of a new arm to the southeast of the existing King George Dock at Hull will provide 4,750 ft. of modern quays, capable of accommodating seven or more vessels depending upon their size. It is expected that the work will take about four years to complete.
The Newport scheme is for redevelopment of part of the northern side of South Dock to provide three general cargo berths with 30 ft. depth

of water, a 1,700 ft. wharf and a large area of hard standing for vehicles. This scheme will take three years to complete.
Also recomnlencied in the interim plan was the ambitious proposal of the Port of Bristol Authority to construct nine new deep-water berths on reclaimed land at Portbury at a capital cost of£27m., as stage one of a multi-million pound development, capable of expansion to more than 40 berths. This is receiving further consideration.
