HC Deb 14 April 1954 vol 526 c107W
57. Mr. G. M. Thomson

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty the tonnage limit of larger merchant vessels that can be supplied to the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and to Poland.

Mr. J. P. L. Thomas

The tonnage of individual ships is only one factor governing the export of shipping to the Sovietbloc. Each application has, therefore, to be considered on its merits.

58. Mr. G. M. Thomson

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty what value of shipbuilding orders have been placed with British firms by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics during the last 12 months.

Mr. J. P. L. Thomas

Approximately £6 million.
