§ 65. Sir A. Southbyasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Economic Warfare to what extent Germany is obtaining ships from the Danish shipyard at Aalborg; and whether this yard is constructing U-boats.
§ Mr. FootAccording to my information at least two vessels have been delivered from this shipyard to Germany since the German occupation of Denmark. The first was a troop-transport ordered by the Chilean Government and which was confiscated by the Germans. The second was an ice-breaker. At the present time four merchant ships are under construction, of which two certainly and one probably are for Germany. My information is that no U-boats are being or have been constructed at this yard.
