§ 70. Mr. Beattieasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty whether he will state the percentage of steel allocated to Messrs. Harland and Wolff, Belfast, and the percentage of steel allocated to shipyards in Great Britain with a similar tonnage; and why Messrs. Harland and Wolff, Belfast, are receiving less than half their requirements.
§ Mr. W. EdwardsParticulars of steel allocations are confidential, but I can assure my hon. Friend that Messrs. Harland and Wolff are being allocated a fair share of the steel available for shipbuilding, and that their allocations are substantially more than half their requirements.
