HC Deb 25 February 1946 vol 419 c335W
Mr. J. J. Robertson

asked the Minister of Supply and of Aircraft Production what proportion of the manufacture of marine diesel engines is being exported; and if he will take immediate action to expedite delivery of a sufficient number of these engines to meet the urgent needs of inshore fishermen in this country.

Mr. Wilmot

About 50 per cent. of all internal combustion engines are exported, but separate figures for marine diesel engines are not available. We are seeking to make a greater number of these engines available for the inshore fishing fleet.
