§ MR. DILLWYNasked the President of the Board of Trade, Whether he is prepared to take any action in respect to the Report of Mr. Thomas Gray on the increase of scurvy in the Mercantile, Marine?
§ MR. JOHN HOLMSOn behalf of my right hon. Friend, I have to say that the report in question has been forwarded to the various local marine boards accompanied by a circular asking for their observations. Some of the replies have not yet been received, and, although the matter is under consideration, it is impossible at present to say what action the Board of Trade may decide to take.
