§ SIR HOWARD VINCENT (Sheffield Central)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury if it is a fact that the Day Mail Service between Dover and Calais, which flies the French flag and is manned by French seamen, is entirely paid for by France; while the Night Mail Service, which flies the Union Jack, is paid for by Her Majesty's Government; and, if British sailors are mainly employed on the latter.
§ MR. HANBURYIt is a fact that the Day Mail Service between Dover and Calais is entirely paid for by France, and is performed by vessels flying the French flag and manned by French crews, and that the Night Mail Service is paid for by Her Majesty's Government, and is performed by vessels flying the British flag and manned by British crews.
