§ MR. CHILDERSasked the President of the Board of Trade, Whether his attention has been called to an incorrect statement recently published as to the dangers connected with explosions on coal-laden ships; and, whether he will put forward, by authority, some statement to remedy the very great danger arising from the acceptance of misleading statements on the subject?
§ VISCOUNT SANDON, in reply, said, the important subject to which the right hon. Gentleman called attention had been under the consideration of the Board of Trade, and it was not impro- 984 bable that it would deal with the matter in some such way as the right hon. Gentleman had indicated; but he could not give any definite assurance.
