Mr. Dell
asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry when he expects to be able to make a statement on Government aid to the ship repairing industry ; and whether the report of the consultants which he has received will be published.
Mr. Chataway
The ship-repair industry is already eligible for assistance under the Industry Act. I am considering publishing the report of the consultants, but I will not be ready to make a statement until I have discussed the report with interested parties.
