HC Deb 19 February 1969 vol 778 c124W
Dr. John Dunwoody

asked the President of the Board of Trade what additional measures he intends taking to induce British shipowners to use British shipyards for repair work.

Mr. William Rodgers

I do not think that it would be in our ultimate interest to try to influence the judgment of shipowners, who have to face intense international competition, in making what is essentially a commercial decision.
