Mr. DAVIESI regret that I can add nothing to the reply given by the Chancellor of the Exchequer on Tuesday to questions on this subject put by the hon. Member for the Eastern Division of Birkenhead (Mr. Graham White) and the hon. Baronet the Member for Chester (Sir C. Cayzer).
§ Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHYBut is the hon. Gentleman pressing the Treasury to consider this matter favourably?
Mr. DAVIESIf the hon. and gallant Member will refer to the reply given by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, I think he will find that that point has been answered there.
