§ 18. Mr. Ridleyasked the President of the Board of Trade what amounts, in the form of subsidies, were paid out under the British Shipping Assistance Acts, 1935 and 1937; and to which firms or persons such sums were paid?
§ Mr. StanleyTramp shipping subsidies to the amounts of £1,989,050 for 1935 and £1,991,015 for 1936 were paid under the British Shipping (Assistance) Acts, 1935 and 1936, respectively. Complete 2599 lists of the ship owners to whom these moneys were paid are contained in Command Papers 5129 and 5420, which were presented to Parliament in March, 1936, and March, 1937. Owing to the relatively high level of freights during 1937 no subsidy became payable under the Act of that year.
§ Mr. RidleyDoes the Command Paper give information as to the amounts given to individuals?
