HC Deb 06 March 1963 vol 673 c39W
7. Commander Kerans

asked the Minister of Transport what are the plans of Her Majesty's Government regarding assistance for the Cunard Line in their replacement of the Queens by a smaller vessel or vessels; and to what extent these plans include provision for ensuring that consideration is given to the northeast shipyards in order to alleviate the present high level of unemployment.

Vice-Admiral Hughes Hallett

On the first part of the Question I have nothing to add to the reply my right hon. Friend gave to the hon. Member for Sunderland, North (Mr. Willey) on 27th February. The second part of the Question does not, therefore, arise.
