HC Deb 12 February 1964 vol 689 c71W
61. Mr. Webster

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will seek to hold discussions with the United States Federal Maritime Commission concerning shipping documents; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Marples

Her Majesty's Government, in concert with other countries, has already made representations to the United States Government on 23rd December, 1963, about the demands made by the Federal Maritime Commission for the production of shipping documents.

As regards the second part of the Question, I have nothing to add to the statement I made on 29th January in reply to the Question asked by the hon. and learned Member for Aberdeen, North (Mr. Hector Hughes).
