HC Deb 10 July 1933 vol 280 c754W
Captain DIXON

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, having regard to the glut of obsolete British shipping, he will consider granting a subsidy to British shipyards for each obsolete ship broken up?

Dr. BURGIN

Proposals of this character have been considered from time to time, and I am in agreement with the conclusion arrived at that such action is not advisable.
