§ Mr. Loganasked the Minister of Shipping whether he is aware of the deplorable state of the ship-painting industry on the Merseyside; and will he take steps to ensure the starting of such work?
Sir A. SalterI am aware that there is unemployment in the ship-painting industry, which is partly a seasonal trade, and I have no doubt that so far as painting is436W necessary for proper maintenance of shipping, owners and managers of ships will bear this in mind.
