HC Deb 24 May 1950 vol 475 c248W
82. Mr. Spearman

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty how many orders for small fishing vessels built of wood have been cancelled during the last month.

Mr. W. Edwards

Builders are not required to report cancellation of orders for minor fishing vessels, and the information asked for is not, therefore, available.

Mr. D. Marshall

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty how many orders given to British shipyards for the building of British fishing vessels have been cancelled in the last month.

Mr. W. Edwards

During the past month the Admiralty have been notified of the cancellation of orders on British yards for 10 major fishing vessels intended for British owners. Information about the cancellation of orders for minor fishing vessels is not available.
