Lloyd George plans port stock shift for London docks
The London and India Dock Company along with local directors seek two classes of port stock under Lloyd George’s scheme, with A stock at 3 percent priority and B stock at 4 percent. Current dock holders receive parcels of port stock, while the Thames Conservancy powers may transfer to a new port commission overseeing the Thames lower reaches. The plan aims to fix ownership terms, levy tonnage, and potentially compel purchase of dock undertakings under the new regime.
