HC Deb 15 July 1924 vol 176 c190
5. Sir W. LANE MITCHELL

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will state the nature of the subsidy given to British owners to enable them to get three steamers built in Holland?

Mr. WEBB

The question appears to be based on a misunderstanding. The subsidy to which reference was made has been given by the Dutch Government to Dutch shipbuilders.
