HC Deb 28 February 1928 vol 214 cc192-3
16. Mr. WEST RUSSELL

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he has come to any decision with regard to the closing of the Mercantile Marine offices at North Shields?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

No decision has yet been arrived at with regard to the Mercantile Marine offices at North and South Shields, as the inquiries are not quite complete. I will inform my hon. Friend as soon as a decision is reached.
