HC Deb 16 December 1938 vol 342 cc2353-4W
Mr. Leonard

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of the probable destruction of cargoes coming to Great Britain during a war, he is satisfied with the present position of shipyards especially suitable for the construction of cargo boats lying idle or likely to be so?

Mr. Cross

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer given to the hon. Member for Dumbarton Burghs (Mr. Kirkwood) on 6th December. I can assure the hon. Member that the aspect of the shipbuilding problem which he has in mind will not be overlooked
