HC Deb 26 November 1956 vol 561 c21W
103. Commander Maitland

asked the President of the Board of Trade what steps Her Majesty's Government are taking to facilitate and encourage an increase in the size of ships carrying iron ore for the iron and steel industry.

Mr. Erroll

The iron and steel industry makes its own arrangements for the shipment of iron ore. The Iron and Steel Board have given information in paragraph 48 of its "Annual Report for the year 1955" showing what arrangements have, or are being, made by the steel industry for the provision of larger ore carriers.
