HC Deb 01 July 1953 vol 517 c27W
38. Mr. R. Robinson

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what steps have been taken to institute a new inter-island shipping service for the West Indies.

Mr. Lyttelton

Two independent surveys of shipping possibilities in the West Indies have been made during recent months. Certain proposals are at present under consideration, but I am not yet in a position to make a statement.
