§ Mr. Lawasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty whether he is aware that there are at least five shipyards in Hull capable of converting trawlers to Admiralty use; and whether he will ensure that the Hull trawlers recently purchased by the Admiralty are fitted out in Hull?
§ Mr. ShakespeareAs I stated in the reply which I gave yesterday to the questions asked by the hon. Members for Monmouth (Mr. Pym), Pontypool (Mr. A. Jenkins), and The Hartlepools (Mr. Gritten), it is desired to place as much2662W as possible of the work on conversion of these trawlers at the ports from which they are taken, having regard to the urgency of the work.
