§ 50. Mr. DAYasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether any proposals have been made by the Cunard-White Star or other shipping company, and are under consideration by the Government, for the construction of additional tonnage under the provisions of the North Atlantic Shipping Act, 1934; and will he give particulars of same?
§ 54. Mr. HALL-CAINEasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the necessary permission will be given, or the necessary financial arrangements made, to enable the early commencement of the building of a sister ship to the "Queen Mary"?
§ Mr. W. S. MORRISONThe position remains as stated in the reply given to the hon. Member for Southwark, Central (Mr. Day) on 31st March last.
§ Mr. DAYIs there no truth in the constant reports that a sister ship to the "Queen Mary" is to be built?
§ Mr. MORRISONI do not know what report the hon. Member has in mind, but the position is that no proposal has yet been made to the Government for construction of additional tonnage under the provisions of the North Atlantic Shipping Act, 1934.
