Major BARNESasked the President of the Board of Trade if in any future legislation on profiteering he will bring the charges by dry dock companies for ships' repairs within the scope of the Act?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANNo, Sir. The charges made by dry dock companies for the repairing of ships involve not only the use of the dry dock and the supplying of materials, but also the provision of the necessary labour, and raise questions which cannot be properly or conveniently dealt with under the Profiteering Act.
