HC Deb 16 April 1935 vol 300 c1685W
Mr. T. MORRIS

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether the Tramp Shipping Subsidy Committee will refer to the National Maritime Board any case in which it is alleged that the Board's agreement was not honoured; and whether the committee will suspend their decision on any claim for the subsidy until they receive the decision of the' National Maritime Board

Mr. RUNCIMAN

The National Maritime Board is the appropriate body for deciding cases in which it is alleged that its agreements have not been honoured, and this is fully recognised by the Tramp Shipping Subsidy Committee. But the precise procedure followed by the committee will presumably vary according to the circumstances of the case.
