21. Mr. HARMSWORTH

asked the President of the Board of Trade what is the latest position in regard to labour in Australia and elsewhere due to the shipping strike; and whether he has received any estimate of the total losses incurred by British shipping companies owing to the strike?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

I have no information to add to the reports which have appeared in the Press as to the position of the shipping strike in Australia and elsewhere. I have received no estimate of the total losses incurred by British shipping companies owing to the strike.
