79. Mr. P. Williams

asked the Minister of Transport what action he is taking, on behalf of the British shipping industry, in relation to the flag discrimination presently being practised by Uruguay.

Representations have been made to the Uruguayan Government about the harmful effects of their flag discrimination. We are considering with the General Council of British Shipping what further steps can be taken, and we are consulting with the European maritime countries and the United States.
