HC Deb 19 July 1967 vol 750 c264W
Mr. Wingfield Digby

asked the President of the Board of Trade what tonnage of British merchant shipping is still laid up; how much of this is tanker tonnage; and how this compares with three months ago.

Mr. J. P. W. Mallalieu

At the end of June only 66,000 gross tons, excluding passenger ships, including 11,000 gross tons in respect of tankers; the corresponding figures at the end of March were 35,000 and 6,000.
