§ Mr. Geoffrey Lloydasked the President of the Board of Trade whether the assistance which the European Economic Community Commission proposes should be given to the Community's shipbuilding industries will exceed that now available to the British industry.
§ Mr. MasonI have seen reports that the European Economic Community Commission is proposing that as from 1967 all members should provide production subsidies to their shipbuilding industries to the extent of approximately 10 per cent. of their current ship prices. There is no comparable assistance in this country.
