§ Mr. PETOasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Shipping Controller what progress has been made relative to the proposals which have been made for standardisation in the building of new merchant vessels; and whether, in respect to this matter, due regard will be paid to suitable accommodation being provided for the officers and crews of these ships?
§ Sir L. CHIOZZA MONEYWith regard to the first part of the question, it is not possible for me to add anything to the answer on this subject which I gave to the hon. Member for Tottenham on Thursday last. As to the latter part of the question, the specification of these standard ships, of course, includes suitable accommodation for a proper complement of officers and men.
