§ Mr. Croninasked the President of the Board of Trade what is his policy with regard to the proposed formation of a consortium between British and European shipping lines for the Australian containership trade.
§ Mr. Goronwy RobertsI understand that the recently announced Australian Container Service is not a new consortium but an attempt to co-ordinate the existing and prospective container ship services operated by British and other lines between the United Kingdom, the Continent of Europe and Australia. I shall watch the development of this service with close interest.
