Mr. Hector Hughesasked the Minister of Transport what discussions he had with the delegation of business men from Scandinavian countries who recently visited this country to discuss shipping and shipbuilding matters of common interest to those countries and the United Kingdom with a view to correlating those interests and expanding British shipping and shipbuilding trade.
