HC Deb 07 February 1861 vol 161 c145
MR. LINDSAY

asked the President of the Board of Trade, What measures the Government propose to introduce this Session to carry into effect the recommendations of the Merchant Shipping Committee of last Session?

MR. MILNER GIBSON

said, that two Bills had been prepared by the Government for the purpose of giving effect to some of the recommendations of the Merchant Shipping Committee. Those Bills would be laid before the House in the course of a fortnight, and the period of their introduction would be the most fitting time to state their provisions.
