HC Deb 12 May 1857 vol 145 c209
MR. HUDSON

asked the Vice President of the Board of Trade when he intended to introduce a Bill for the abolition of the Passing Tolls; also, whether he proposed to introduce any Bill for the abolition of the charges on shipping at Liverpool and other places, and also for taking away the power of the Trinity House at Newcastle in the appointment of pilots for the port of Sunderland?

MR. LOWE

said, that it was the intention of the Government, when the stale of public business would allow, to introduce a Bill founded on some of the recommendations of the Commissioners for inquiring into the subject of the shipping dues, who reported in 1854, but it would be more convenient if he were to reserve a statement of its details until he asked for leave to introduce the Bill.
