§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of TRADE (Dr. Burgin)I have been asked to reply. My hon. Friend regrets that he is unable to give the hon. Member information beyond that which has already appeared in the Press, but he understands that the Press reports as to the number and value of the vessels involved are substantially accurate.
