HC Deb 14 June 1847 vol 93 c472

DR. BOWRING, having understood that some important changes had been made in the quarantine regulations, wished to ask what were the modifications that had been introduced?

MR. M. GIBSON

said, the modifications amounted to this—that ships with clean bills of health were now admitted to immediate pratique, from whatever part of the world they came, and with whatever cargo they were laden.

House in Committee on the Navigation Acts.

Resolution for bringing in a Bill suspending the Navigation Laws with respect to vessels importing grain from foreign countries then agreed to. House resumed. Bill ordered to be brought in.
