§ Colonel Sir H. JESSELasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Shipping Controller where the allocation of freight space from America to Great Britain among British firms who have purchased in America material for shipment to Great Britain for war purposes is determined; and whether in Great Britain or in the United States, and to which Department of State, should applications of such freight space as is available be made?
§ Sir L. CHIOZZA MONEYThe apportionment of the total available freight space among the various supply services (munitions, War Office, etc.) is made by the representative of the Ministry of Shipping in New York, in accordance with instructions issued from time to time by the Ministry. The further allocation in detail of the space reserved for each supply service is made by the Department responsible for the service—for example, in the case of munitions by the Ministry of Munitions, to which Department any communication on the subject should be addressed.
