§ Mr. HORE-BELISHAasked the Lord Privy Seal whether, seeing that the coasting trade was not included in the de-rating scheme, he will, in the event of giving further assistance to railway companies, consider the claims of the coasting trade that it should be granted an equivalent concession?
Mr. THOMASI am aware of the point raised by the hon. Member, and I will certainly bear the position of the coastal shipping trade in mind in carrying out my policy.
