HC Deb 21 September 1886 vol 309 cc1127-8
MR. HENEAGE (Great Grimsby)

asked the Secretary to the Board of Trade, Whether it is the intention of the Government to re-introduce next Session the Bill to amend and extend the powers given by the Fishing Boats Act, 1883, to the Superintendent of the Board of Trade for the settlement of disputes between masters, skippers, and seamen, for the better preservation of life in boxing and ferrying at sea, and for other purposes; and, if so, whether the Bill will be introduced in the same shape as it passed the House last Session?

THE SECRETARY (Baron HENRY DE WORMS) (Liverpool, East Toxteth)

The Board of Trade hope to re-introduce the Bill referred to by the hon. Member next Session. The Bill will probably be in the same shape as that which passed the House last Session; but I cannot give a positive pledge to that effect.
