§ 68. Mr. G. LAMBERTasked what was the amount of mercantile tonnage constructed in February?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the ADMIRALTY (Dr. Macnamara)The returns have been got in specially for this month. My right hon. Friend will presently deal with them.
§ Mr. LAMBERTThe figures for November, December, and January were given a fortnight ago. Can you give them now?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAI can say this: that the figures for February, though not up to forecast, are very nearly double those for January, and indicate a great advance.
§ Mr. LAMBERTMay we not have the figures?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAI have not got them with me.
