HC Deb 07 March 1967 vol 742 c249W
Mr. Wingfield Digby

asked the Minister of Technology how many gross registered tons of refrigeration ships were launched in 1961 and 1966, respectively; and what percentage of total launchings for the year each represented.

Mr. Dell

Launchings from United Kingdom yards of vessels to be completed as refrigerated ships amounted to 129,320 gross registered tons in 1961, representing 11 per cent. of total launchings. It is not yet possible to give the comparable total for 1966.
