HL Deb 13 May 1953 vol 182 cc459-60
LORD WINSTER

My Lords, I beg to ask the second Question which stands in my name on the Order Paper.

[The Question was as follows:

To ask whether Her Majesty's Government have received any notification from the Government of the United States to the effect that in future Federal agencies would cease paying foreign shipowners to carry goods if they also traded with enemy countries and if a clause to this end is to be written into American Government contracts with foreign shipping.]

THE MARQUESS OF READING

My Lords, no such notification has been received by Her Majesty's Government from the Government of the United States.

LORD WINSTER

My Lords, I beg to thank the noble Marquess for that reply.
