Mr. G. Thomas
asked the Minister of Transport (1) the names and tonnage of British ships which have been transferred to the Panama Register during the past month;(2) the names and total tonnage of British ships sold and transferred to the Panama Register since the war.
Mr. Callaghan
The total tonnage of shipping transferred from the United Kingdom to the Panamanian registry since the war is 135,907 gross tons, most of which was very old tonnage. This includes three vessels—the "Granlake," "Granview" and the "Anion"—which were transferred last month. I propose to circulate the names of all the ships concerned in HANSARD.
