HC Deb 17 February 1932 vol 261 cc1659-60W
Mr. ALBERY

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty if, when British warships are sold for breaking-up in a British port, he will consider including in the contract the condition that in towage from one British port to another preference shall be given to British tugs?

Sir B. EYRES MONSELL

The Admiralty have considered this matter in the past and have decided that it would not be advisable to include a condition of this nature in the contracts.
