HC Deb 14 May 1958 vol 588 c33W
Mr. Callaghan

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty if he will state, for the most recent convenient date, how much British shipping is being repaired in foreign yards; and how much foreign shipping is being repaired in Britain.

From such information as is available, it is estimated that approximately 100,000 gross tons of British shipping were under repair in foreign yards at the end of April, 1958. At the same time, approximately 175,000 gross tons of foreign shipping were under repair in United Kingdom yards.
