HC Deb 31 October 1990 vol 178 c597W
27. Mr. Viggers

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will take steps to ensure that shipbuilding yards in the United Kingdom are able to compete on equal terms with yards in other parts of the European Community.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

The European Communities sixth directive on aid to shipbuilding already sets a maximum limit on the level of aid which member states of the Community may provide.
