HC Deb 18 January 1977 vol 924 c182W
Mr. Higgins

asked the Secretary of State for Industry if he will give an assurance that payments for ships sold under the Anglo-Polish trade deal announced on 16th December 1976 will not depend on the operating profitability of the ships.

Mr. Les Huckfield

Details of the financial arrangements are still in the course of negotiation and must therefore be confidential at this stage.
