Mr. Edward M. Taylorasked the President of the Board of Trade what representations he has made to the European Common Market Executive regarding the effect on Great Britain of their proposal that Member States should award subsidies of between 10 and 15 per cent. in respect of new ships and major shipyard conversions; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. MasonNone. I consider it best to make our views known in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development where all the major shipbuilding nations are represented and this is being done.
