HC Deb 16 March 1972 vol 833 c141W
3. Mr. Douglas

asked the Minister of State for Defence if he will list the shipping companies which have sought design advice from establishments under his charge for the construction of liquefied natural gas carriers.

Mr. G. Johnson Smith

An evaluation of the design of this type of ship was undertaken for Shell International Marine Limited by the Naval Construction Research Establishment at Rosyth. This is the only formal request for assistance of this sort with which we have dealt.
