HC Deb 03 June 1959 vol 606 c21W
13. Mr. Awbery

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation whether he has considered the evidence sent to him by the hon. Member for Bristol, Central, of discriminatory action taken by Her Majesty's Government 'against foreign shipping; to what extent he has given his authority to such discrimination; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Hay

I know of no discriminatory action taken by Her Majesty's Government against foreign shipping, and the hon. Member's letter contains no details that would support such an allegation. Her Majesty's Government are of course, strongly opposed to any discriminatory action by Governments against the shipping of other countries.
