HC Deb 07 March 1935 vol 298 cc2122-3
53. Mr. H. WILLIAMS

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he can furnish any estimate of the gross receipts in 1934 of shipping from freight and passengers, respectively?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

I regret that I am unable to furnish any information in regard to the national shipping income in 1934 beyond that contained in the article on the balance of payments which appeared in the issue of the Board of Trade Journal of 21st 'February last.
