HC Deb 16 June 1952 vol 502 cc60-1W
58. Mr. Elwyn Jones

asked the Minister of Transport whether, in view of increasing unemployment among those engaged in ship repairing in the Port of London, he will introduce legislation to discourage or prohibit British ship owners from having their ships repaired in foreign ports, save for emergency repairs.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

No. I do not consider that this would be in the interest of those engaged either in ship repairing or in shipping.
