HC Deb 15 July 1914 vol 64 cc1920-1
73. Mr. HUNT

asked whether the increased subsidies now given, or about to be given, by the German Government to German ships going to Australia amount to a larger sum than the subsidies given to British ships going to Australia; and, if so, how does the Government propose to neutralise the effect on British trade and shipping?

Mr. ROBERTSON

My present information does not enable me to reply to the hon. Member's question, but I will make inquiries in the matter.
