Mr. Hector Hughesasked the Minister of Transport if he will give the names of the members of the consortium of shipowners, formed on the proposal by the First Lord of the Admiralty, to arrange for the ownership and operation of the first British nuclear-powered ship; what is the programme of their intended discussions; when those discussions will take place; and whether he will inform the House of their nature and result.
§ Mr. MarplesNo consortium has yet been formed. The small committee of shipowners of which I told the hon. Member last week is to consider with the Government the suggestion that one might be set up.
