HC Deb 14 December 1961 vol 651 c94W
Mr. Wiley

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will make a statement on the present trend in the number of United Kingdom orders for ships placed abroad.

Mr. Marples

Since July, 1961, which was the end of the 18 months' period covered by the Peat, Marwick and Mitchell report, no orders of this kind have come to my notice.
