§ 55. Mr. Wainwrightasked the Minister of Transport how many British shipyards are not now building ships because of the lack of orders.
§ Vice-Admiral Hughes HallettOf the 80 or so yards which can build ships of 100 gross tons and over, there were 9 at the end of March which had no work on ships of this range of size. But all except one were small yards which may have repair work and orders for vessels under 100 gross tons, of which no official record is kept.
