Mr. Pink
asked the Secretary of State for Trade on how many occasions, in each of the last five years, have objections been made to a change of a ship's name as a result of advertisements in daily and other publications, respectively; and what was the tonnage of the ship and the number of objections in each case.
Mr. Clinton Davis
