Port of London Act 1908
United Kingdom legislation / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Port of London Act 1908 (8 Edw. 7. c. 68) was an Act of Parliament of the United Kingdom, which established the Port of London Authority and regulated corporate governance at the Port of London.[1] It merged numerous inefficient and overlapping private companies and gave unified supervision to Britain's most important port. That enabled London to compete more effectively with Hamburg and Rotterdam. David Lloyd George, the President of the Board of Trade, was the major sponsor for the Liberal Party.[2]
