§ Mr. Hastingsasked the First Lord of the Admiralty how many ships have been received in docks under the charge of the Port of London Authority for repair during the first three months of the present year; and how this figure compares with the corresponding numbers for the first three months of 1949, 1950 and 1951.
§ Mr. J. P. L. ThomasThe number of ships received into the docks of the Port of London Authority for repair during the first three months of the years 1949 to 1952 are as follows:
— Enterning Dry Dock Entering Wet Dock 1949 … … 91 23 1950 … … 89 9 1951 … … 84 10 1952 … … 96 19 The figures for each column are prepared from independent records and therefore any ship undergoing repairs both in dry dock and in wet dock will appear in both columns.
It would not be possible to give figures eliminating this overlap without a detailed examination of records.
