§ Mr. Marcus Samuelasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he can state the number of ships owned by or under charter to the various firms who are members of the Association of British Shipowners trading with Spain which are still engaged in the Spanish trade as compared with the peak period in 1938?
§ Mr. StanleyI have not the information for which my hon. Friend asks; but I understand that very few, if any, of the ships which were engaged in regular trade with ports in the hands of the then existing Spanish Government during 1938 are now engaged in the Spanish trade.
