HC Deb 26 March 1935 vol 299 c1728
14. Mr. D. G. SOMERVILLE

asked the President of the Board of Trade what publication he anticipates will be made in connection with the application by owners of tramp shipping for a grant of any part of the Government subsidy; and whether, apart from the mere announcement of the grant made, there will be issued some detailed information as to the circumstances under which the grant is made?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

No payments have yet been made under Part I of the British Shipping (Assistance) Act, 1935. I am at present considering in what form information regarding the distribution of the subsidy should be published.
