§ 66. Mr. Parkinasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he is aware of the dismay caused among smaller shipping companies in Mauritius by the proposal to sign a contract between the Government and one company, which grants a subsidy unduly favouring the company and amounting also to subsidy of shipping between Mauritius and French ports; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. HopkinsonI am consulting the Governor of Mauritius about this and will write to the hon. Member as soon as possible.
