§ 104. Mr. Elwyn Jonesasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty what steps he has taken, and intends to take, in the next 12 months to reduce unemployment and short-time working in ship-repairing in the Port of London and, in particular, in West Ham.
§ Mr. T. G. D. GalbraithThe difficulties referred to are not peculiar to the Port of London. The prospects for the ship-repairing industry depend on world seaborne trade. Her Majesty's Government is doing all within its power to encourage this trade.
