HC Deb 31 May 1880 vol 252 cc768-9
SIR HENRY HOLLAND

asked the President of the Board of Trade, Whether it is intended to introduce a Bill this Session to legalize the practice of re- ceving contributions of seamen towards merchant seamen's pensions, in accordance with the recommendations of the Committee of Public Accounts in their second Report for 1879, and of the Treasury in their Letter of 27th October 1879, to the Board of Trade?

MR. CHAMBERLAIN

Yes, Sir. The Bill will only be a short Bill, and I hope we shall be in a position to introduce it in the course of the present Session.
