§ Sir R. Glynasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty whether any scheme is under consideration to design a special type of deep-sea trawler capable of performing mine-sweeping duties in war under the conditions that may then obtain; and whether any financial consideration will be paid to such owners as are prepared to build such vessels.
123W
Mr. EdwardsNo such scheme in connection with deep-sea trawlers is under consideration at present. The second part of the question does not therefore arise.
