§ Mr. Trotterasked the Secretary of State for Trade if his Department possesses a list of all the activities carried on by the shipbuilding and ship repairing and marine engineering companies listed for nationalisation.
§ Mr. Clinton Davis:No. There are nearly 640,000 companies on the register and it is not the practice to maintain a record of their activities. Details of those referred to could be abstracted only at disproportionate cost.
