HC Deb 12 June 1947 vol 438 c152W
Mr. Younger

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what limitations have been placed upon the rebuilding of the German trawler fishing fleet; and whether any further relaxation of the present restrictions is contemplated in the immediate future.

Mr. Mayhew

The Allied Council have authorised a rebuilding programme of 100 fishing trawlers. Of these 66 are to be of less than 350 gross registered tons and 34 of from 350 to 400 gross registered tons. No modification of these restrictions is contemplated at present.
