§ MR. HENEAGEasked the First Lord of the Treasury, Whether, in the event of the Motion of the honourable Member for Norfolk, with regard to trawler's lights, being again postponed in consequence of the urgency of Government Business, the Government will undertake that no steps shall be taken towards carrying out the recommendations of the Departmental Committee on trawler's lights, which is at direct variance with the Report of the Select Committee appointed last Session, and the evidence given before it, until the House has had an opportunity of fully discussing the question?
§ MR. EVELYN ASHLEY,in reply, said, that the Board of Trade would delay as long as possible acting on the Report of the Committee, in order to allow the Motion to be previously discussed in the House; but they could not do so indefinitely, as the regulations had to be published a certain time before they could be acted upon.
