HC Deb 17 March 1975 vol 888 c312W
Mr. Pink

asked the Secretary of State for Trade on how many occasions, in each of the last five years, have objections been made to a change of a ship's name as a result of advertisements in daily and other publications, respectively; and what was the tonnage of the ship and the number of objections in each case.

Mr. Clinton Davis:

Files on changes of ships' names are only kept for two years and do not necessarily distinguish between daily and other publications. The information available is as follows:
