§ 42. Mr. DAYasked the President of the Board of Trade to what extent the Government are responsible for any of the present insurance risk of the new Cunarder, steamship "Queen Mary"; and will he give particulars?
§ Mr. RUNCIMANThe amount of the present insurance on this vessel borne by the Board of Trade is £1,780,000, of a total of £4,500,000 and is in respect of risks arising during construction. Arrangements for the insurance of the vessel against marine risks are now being completed.
Mr. RUNICMANIf the hon. Gentleman wants to know what has been done in regard to the marine risks, he had better put a question down.
§ Mr. GARRO-JONESIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that this question asks about the present insurance risks, and that that covers both marine and construction risks?
