Major Lloyd GeorgeInquiries have been made from the Port of Hull Transport Pool as to the composition of the amount of £2,600 said by my hon. Friend to be owing and long overdue. It is understood to include an amount of £935, of which my Department has no knowledge. The remainder represents December accounts, which have now been paid in the normal course, with the exception of one for about £700, Which has been referred back to the Transport Pool as the amount charged is in dispute.
