This measure is the Government’s attempt to put into law the recommendations of the Royal Commission on the Port of London, 1902, but with amendments. It is proposed to purchase the entire docks and warehouses, leaving the wharves to run on their own resources; to create a Port Trust to control the entire river and docks; to charge the loan for purchase, etc., upon the London County Council—i.e., about £35,000,000: and to dredge the river to about 30 ft. at low water up to the principal dock entrances.
